Chapter 197 The Fifth Store



After the release of "Want to See You", Lu Yao was waiting for the task to be completed. "

The Little Chef of Shengjing" and "Seeking Immortals" are continuously updated, and they will soon make up for the quota of ten new films to be released. However, we haven't started work this morning, which means that the task was completed yesterday. It seems a bit untimely to remind you now that the task is completed. Lu Yao didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "The task was completed yesterday, why are you reminding me now?" System: [... Well, the system was updated and maintained yesterday, and there was no time to release the task progress reminder. ] Lu Yao: "So, it turns out that the Dream Fulfilling System will also be maintained and upgraded." System: [... Mobile phones will update the system from time to time, of course I can too! ] Lu Yao: "Well, I haven't heard you say that before, I was just a little surprised. Don't talk so loudly, it's a bit irritating." System: [... I... I didn't speak loudly. After all, you don't like me recently, so you think everything I do is wrong. 】 It also has some emotions. Lu Yao: "Where did I say I don't like you? It's just a system, why is it so awkward?" This person has no desire to survive. The system is depressed: [Humph, I don't want to talk to you! ] Lu Yao called it again: "What new content has been updated? Let me see." Lu Yao opened the system page after a long pause, but didn't see any changes. She clicked on the map under the store owner's status column. On the originally gray street, there are now five stores with golden fronts, and the words on the signs are also lit up. She stretched out her hand and clicked on the snack bar, and the real scene of the snack bar was projected in the void in front of her. There were real-time pictures of the staff, customers, store status, and business conditions, as well as data records. All situations were at a glance. Previously, only the shops in operation could be seen on the map in gold, and the unopened shops were gray, without any data records. Lu Yao clicked on the nail salon, blind box shop, and furry shop in turn, and he could indeed observe the situation of each shop in real time. Lu Yao exited from the system page: "Is this the new upgraded function?" System: [What, do you have any opinions? ] It really had a maintenance update last night. It was originally scheduled to be expanded and upgraded after the first ten-star shop appeared at the earliest. But the store owner's business ability is much stronger than expected, especially the shops she chose, which were basically not the types in the planned plan every time, but they completed the tasks perfectly in every world. And the ten-star shop that was originally thought to appear after a long time may be achieved before the New Year. That wish may really come true in the end. In fact, the system has never really understood why they are so afraid of that wish coming true. "No, I think it's good." Lu Yao didn't think much about it and quite liked this new feature. There are more and more stores, and when they are busy, they can't take care of the situation of each store. This real-time monitoring function can save a lot of time. It has been a long time since I received praise from the store owner. The system feels inexplicably happy and a little guilty. By monitoring the business conditions of each store, re-evaluate the impact of the stores in the other world on each world, so as to re-screen the coordinates later. In order to avoid the gaffes of the third and fourth stores, I dare not interfere too much in the mission content, and now I have adopted a plan to quietly increase the difficulty of the subsequent worlds. After experiencing the new functions, Lu Yao's mind returned to the upgrade and expansion of the cinema. Three ordinary screening rooms were rewarded for completing the task, and a 3D screening room was rewarded for the cinema's star upgrade. In addition, three ordinary screening rooms and a claw machine were rewarded when the store was upgraded to three stars. All of them were included in the planning of the second floor. The sign for the expansion and renovation of the second floor has been hanging for a long time. The entrance to the stairs is located next to Hall 1 in the large screening area. On weekdays, guests passing by will look around curiously. Tonight, we will do maintenance again, expand the new screening room and 3D screening room, and then place the claw machine in the rest area on the second floor. It will be officially open tomorrow. The three theaters this time are the same as before, divided into three middle halls that can accommodate 40 people and one small hall that can accommodate 30 people. In this way, there are six middle halls, two small halls, and a 3D hall that can accommodate 50 people on the second floor, a total of eight new theaters. The theaters, which have always been very tense, suddenly relaxed. When promoting new films, the schedules of other films will no longer be so tight, and there may be room for a few more TV series. Lu Yao stood at the window on the second floor and looked down. He then went downstairs and walked in the middle of the street. He looked up and gestured with his hand, "I think we can also add a screen on the second floor. It should be bigger and more conspicuous than the two advertising screens downstairs." The system was not surprised to become like this. It said weakly, "Too many upgrades at one time is unnatural. And it is very expensive to expand at your own expense." Lu Yao touched his chin and thought, "If you do it, how much popularity will it take?" The system quoted guiltily: [About... one million. ] Lu Yao: "Just a screen?" System: [... Yeah.] Lu Yao: "The decoration price has also been upgraded?" System: [... For additional requirements other than task rewards, this system will adopt a flexible charging standard.] This is not even pretending. Very good, very courageous. Lu Yao nodded, "It is indeed very flexible, then we will upgrade the areas within the mission tonight." The system thought Lu Yao had given up and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The upgrade plan for the second floor was finalized, and the maintenance time would have to wait until after closing in the afternoon. Lu Yao went to find Fu Chi and told him that the store would have a 3D theater. For the first 3D theater, an interesting film must be selected to maximize the advantages of 3D. This special reward came rather suddenly, as there was no suitable film in the previous alternative films. After the second floor was upgraded, the clerk's schedule had to be readjusted. When Lu Yao found Fu Chi, he was standing next to a machine, looking at the street outside through the glass, as if in a daze. Lu Yao walked over and patted him on the shoulder. Fu Chi came back to his senses, his face looking a little unnatural. Lu Yao frowned and looked at him for a while, "What's wrong with you?"

Fu Chi lowered his head, "Nothing. Is there something wrong?"

Lu Yao had actually noticed that something was wrong with Fu Chi a long time ago. It seemed that it started from the day they went out to eat together. He was often in a daze and would subconsciously look away when he saw her.

"It's a little thing about the cinema. There's no rush for the time being. What's wrong with you?" Lu Yao asked.

Fu Chi lowered his eyes, thinking about something.

Ji Zhixin came back from Tianji a few days ago. His legs have completely recovered and he can walk freely outside the furry shop.

Fu Chi went to ask Ji Zhixin and learned that it was the owner again.

That night he called Qi Jue to inquire and learned that Qi Jue did know Lu Yao, and they knew each other because of Qi Chen's accident.

But Qi Jue also said that Qi Chen's affairs had nothing to do with Lu Yao.

However, he felt more and more that the man who appeared in the last advertisement was Qi Chen, but he just couldn't figure it out.

The situation became more and more complicated, and Fu Chi felt that he could no longer suppress his curiosity.

Lu Yao waited for a while, raised his hand and waved in front of him, "Hey, are you okay?"

Fu Chi came back to his senses, took a step back, shook his head subconsciously, and suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Lu Yao, "Owner, there is something I want to talk to you about."

"Well, you go." Lu Yao looked like he was listening attentively.

Fu Chi moved his mouth, but still felt that he couldn't speak, so he simply pulled Lu Yao back to the backstage of the lounge, found the previous popcorn and cola commercial series, clicked on the video numbered "3", scrolled to one of the frames, and paused.

When Lu Yao saw Qi Chen, he had some guesses in his mind.

The next second, Fu Chi pointed at the man on the screen and looked over, "This man looks a lot like a friend of mine. A few months ago, he was involved in a murder and unfortunately died."

Fu Chi observed Lu Yao, and her face was calm, without any emotions such as uneasiness or guilt.

Fu Chi continued, "I was still in the country at the time and attended his funeral. I was very sure that he was gone. But a few months later, I unexpectedly saw him here again. I asked Qi Jue before, and he said that Qi Chen had seen you before the accident. Later, Qi Jue also came to see you."

Lu Yao thought it was a serious mistake. He didn't expect that someone among the clerks would know Qi Chen. He secretly typed into the system, "What should I do?"

The system didn't expect this to happen. Constructive suggestion: [Erase memory? ] Erasing

memory is indeed a good plan. Lu Yao thought of the memories that he had not been able to retrieve so far, and he was a little hesitant.

Lu Yao decided to try to fool him first: "You may have recognized the wrong person. This guy is just a random extra from the snack bar."

Fu Chi: "I have been thinking about it recently. He always said that he would sell the amusement park one day and find a quiet place to open a cafe, make coffee, bake snacks, and read some books. The filming location of this advertisement is in the snack bar next door, right? You can see the huge Ferris wheel across the river from the window."

... Fu Chi's thinking is very clear, it seems that he can't be fooled.

Lu Yao: "Let me ask first, what do you want to do?"

Fu Chi scratched his head in distress, "His condition was very bad when he was found. I can't figure out why he appeared in the shopping street?"

Lu Yao: "I'm working in a movie theater recently. Are you feeling better?"

Fu Chi nodded.

Lu Yao pondered, "It's not that I can't understand your feelings. It's just that many things that have happened, no matter how complicated they are, will not have any beneficial impact on reality."

After a pause, she continued, "But if this answer can be beneficial to you, I think it's worth exploring."

Fu Chi stared at Lu Yao closely, his eyebrows slightly raised, not sure what she meant.

Lu Yao stood up, "I need to ask for the other party's consent. If you are sure you want to meet him, you have to sign a contract. When you finish your work at the cinema and leave the shopping street, those unnecessary memories will disappear."

Fu Chi's heartbeat quickened, and he had given up on managing his expression.

The problem that had been bothering him since he saw the advertisement that day, after discussing it with the store owner, he had a solution in less than five minutes.

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt that I was a little stupid for being so anxious that I couldn't sleep these days.

Lu Yao said to seek the opinions of the other party, not just Qi Chen, but also the park.

Qi Chen arrived in the Dreamland and became a resident of the Dreamland.

Theoretically, Qi Chen in the real world is indeed dead.

Even if Qi Chen in the Dreamland has all the memories and experiences as a human, he is essentially a native of the Dreamland.

If he wants to meet Fu Chi, there may be some procedures.

Lu Yao went to find Bai Jian.

As a result, the captain of the guard was quite casual and didn't pay much attention to such trivial matters. He asked Lu Yao to arrange it himself.

Coming out of the park, Lu Yao took a look and saw that the film and television base next to the ninety-ninth floor had been completed.

Xiao Qie said that they have already selected the script, and the park is currently looking for suitable actors through live broadcasts.

A new selection channel has been set up at the entrance of the park, so the guards and NPCs have been very busy recently.

Xiao Qie also said that the newly completed film and television base is an ancient city, used for filming costume dramas. A new area has been opened up next door, and a medieval architectural complex is being built. When the time comes, a contemporary drama will be filmed, and there will be a modern idol drama later.

They are very ambitious, and this matter can kill time, killing two birds with one stone.

After returning from the park, Lu Yao went to find Qi Chen to talk about Fu Chi.

Qi Chen stood behind the bar wiping cups, and there was no response for a long time. Until he wiped a plate of tall glasses until they were shiny and reflective, he said faintly: "I'll think about it."

Qi Chen has changed a lot, and his personality is completely different from when he first came.

Lu Yao stared at him for a while and felt that he had some signs of being distracted, but then he changed his mind and felt that he was overthinking.

"If you don't want to go outside the store, the captain of guards can arrange for you to meet in the amusement park." Lu Yao said.

Among the employees of the snack bar, Qi Chen is the only one who is not tied to Lu Yao. He has been guarding the coffee shop on the second floor and has never stepped out of the store.

Xingzi and the others couldn't understand it. Obviously, outside the door is the world where Qi Chen lived when he was still alive, but he doesn't seem to be interested at all.

Qi Chen needs three days to think about it, and Lu Yao told Fu Chi the truth.

Fu Chi is looking forward to returning to normal after three days.

After calming down, Fu Chi remembered that Lu Yao had asked him about something before, so he asked, "Boss, what did you say about the cinema?"

Lu Yao said, "The second floor will be open as usual tomorrow. There is a 3D theater. Do you have any suitable movies to recommend?"

Fu Chi thought about the movies that the cinema had recently purchased, and there was really no suitable alternative. "As for the 3D effect, I prefer science fiction movies. "

Lu Yao rubbed his arms wildly: "... such a heavy taste?"

Fu Chi pushed up his glasses: "Since you are looking for excitement, then go all the way (1). "

Lu Yao covered his face: "... Director Fu, I still like the way you were calm and reserved at the beginning (2). "

A crying man passed by and looked back at the two of them with a shocked look as if "So you two have this kind of relationship."

Lu Yao lazily explained: "..."

After talking about the new video options, Lu Yao said that he wanted to add a large screen on the second floor. Fu Chi nodded

after listening. The two advertising screens on the first floor were very eye-catching, but not conspicuous enough. You could only notice them when you got closer.

If a large and conspicuous advertising screen is built on the second floor, the kind that can be seen from one or two streets away, the promotion of movies and advertising will be taken to a higher level.

Fu Chi does have an acquaintance who does this, but the problem is that except for the store owner, no one else can actually enter the Dawu Dynasty, and installation is a big problem.

There is no progress on the issue of the advertising screen for the time being.

Lu Yao was not too entangled, so she asked Fu Chi and Ji Zhixin to discuss and draw up a list of 3D film candidates.

She couldn't wait to show 3D films in the cinema.

In the evening, two fast horses galloped into Liangjing.

Jin Lu and Qi Wu found an inn to stay, put down their luggage, and ran to the street to inquire about the cinema.

The cinema was more famous than they expected. Just call a passerby on the street, and they would be excited and talk endlessly about the cinema.

The inn is only two blocks away from the cinema. The two of them listened to eight hundred versions of cinema stories along the way. It took them half an hour to finally arrive at the legendary cinema.

Jin Lu stood in front of the glass door, staring at the strange building in front of him: "It's true that seeing is believing."

Qi Wu looked at the advertising screen by the door, which was showing the advertisement of Chunxi Tower.

She glanced at the advertisement screen for a while, then turned her head to look at Chunxi Tower next door, and tugged at Jin Lu's clothes, "Xiao Liu, look quickly, it looks like the teahouse next door is shown here."

Jin Lu was also dumbfounded, "Is this a movie?"

Ye Xiao looked back, turned around silently, and walked towards the rest area.

Die Qi heard Jin Lu's signature loud voice and thought she had heard it wrong at first. When she turned around, she wanted to cover her face.

Why are Xiao Liu and Xiao Wu here too?

Jin Lu and Qi Wu stood at the door for a long time, watching the advertising screen playing different short films in turn, jumping and dancing with excitement.

Die Qi felt that it was unbearable to watch, so she walked out and greeted: "You two, come in and talk."

Qi Wu was happy to see Die Qi, "Qi Qi, you are really here!"

Die Qi: "...Come in first."

The two little fools were too silly.

Jin Lu and Die Qi were like Die Qi's cousins ​​who had just come from the "countryside", and they were curious about everything.

Unfortunately, they arrived late, the last movie had already started, and there were no extra tickets.

The two had to sit in the lounge and eat the popcorn, coke/orange juice and hot dog combo that Die Qi treated them to, and watch some trailers to satisfy their cravings.

It was close to closing time, and the canteen was not very busy.

Die Qi stood behind the counter and chatted with the two people across the air: "Why are you here too?"

Jin Lu ate the grilled sausage in two bites and shouted: "Qi Qi, give me ten more of these dog sausages!"

Qi Wu: "Qi Qi, I want two more, and a glass of orange juice."

Die Qi: "..."

What are you two doing here?

The last movie of the day ended, and all the guests left. Ku Ba finally got off work and rushed to the rest area to talk to Jin Lu and Qi Wu.

After closing, Ku Ba solemnly introduced Lu Yao to Jin Lu and Qi Wu.

Lu Yao carefully studied the two names "Jin Lu" and "Qi Wu", thinking that five, six, seven, eight, and nine were quite neat.

Jin Lu and Qi Wu were curious about the cinema, so Lu Yao asked Ku Ba and Die Qi to take them around the first floor respectively.

Satisfied with her curiosity, Die Qi led the two away with a headache on her face.

Ku Ba said that they wanted to go to the restaurant for dinner together, and enthusiastically invited Lu Yao to join them.

Lu Yao declined.

The little numbers were having a dinner party, and if she, the target of the mission, followed them, wouldn't that be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?

The story of Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather is really worth watching over and over again.

Tsk.

Ku Ba frowned regretfully, and wanted to persuade them, but was finally pulled away by Die Qi.

At the same time, a cargo ship docked at the pier in Liangjingbei City.

When the ship docked, Zhao Guanghong got off the ship first.

This trip to Jiangnan was smoother than expected.

He took the goods from the cinema and shipped them to Jiangnan. He asked for a high price, but they were sold out in less than two days.

Not only that, he also got in touch with the richest man in Jiangnan.

Amid the lights, it was vaguely visible that behind the Zhao family's cargo ship, there was another large ship, with triangular flags hanging on both sides of the bow, with a striking "Jiang" character written in the middle.

Zhao Guanghong turned around quickly and stood on the shore waiting.

Three people from the Jiang family came this time, the most capable butler of Old Lady Jiang, the daughter of the current head of the Jiang family, Jiang Yudie, and a young man from the Jiang family's side branch, named Jiang Cheng.

As soon as Jiang Cheng got off the boat, he had no time for other things and hurriedly called Zhao Guanghong: "It's not dark yet, and there is still half an hour before curfew. Take me to see the cinema."

Zhao Guanghong smiled bitterly: "Mr. Jiang is really anxious. The cinema is on Song'an Street in East City. It will take at least half an hour to get there. What's more, it's getting late, and we've been tired from the journey. It's better to rest up tonight and go early tomorrow morning."

Jiang Cheng had been longing for the cinema in Liangjing City since he was in Jiangnan.

The old lady ordered the butler to go to Beijing to investigate. Jiang Cheng heard about it and took the initiative to ask the old lady to go to Beijing together.

He was looking forward to it every day on the way here by boat, and he never tired of asking Zhao Guanghong to tell him about his experience in the cinema.

Unfortunately, Zhao Guanghong only went there once, and he repeated the things he had heard countless times.

But this young master of the Jiang family really couldn't get tired of listening.

At this time, they finally arrived in Liangjing, but the time was not right, and they had to wait another night.

Jiang Cheng was a little depressed, but there was nothing he could do.

The next day, Lu Yao came to the cinema early, went upstairs to inspect, and confirmed that the maintenance upstairs had been completed.

The layout of the second floor is basically the same as the first floor, except that there is an ordinary screening room on one side of the large screening area. The 3D screening room is on the same side as the private room on the first floor and is temporarily closed.

There is no ticket office on the second floor, and tickets and snacks are all purchased on the first floor.

As a result, the rest area on the second floor is much emptier than the first floor.

Lu Yao placed the claw machine in the wide space corresponding to the canteen area on the first floor and placed it against the wall.

She looked left and right, and always felt that it was a bit pitiful to put a claw machine here.

There is no advertising screen on the second floor, and the layout of the rest area is the same as the first floor, also with a glass round table and rattan chairs, and then look at the claw machine. It seems even more pitiful. Lu

Yao was silent for a while, then turned around and went downstairs, returned to the shopping street, and called Fu Chi.

Half an hour later, a white truck drove into the shopping street.

Fu Chi's assistant accompanied them, and together with the driver, they unloaded two brand new vending machines, two claw machines, and some drinks from the truck.

After the car and the assistant left, Lu Yao put the four machines into his portable warehouse at night and turned back to the cinema. The

four new machines were placed next to the claw machines given by the system, occupying half of the wall. Lu Yao

finally felt a little more satisfied. While filling the vending machine with drinks, he said to himself: "Who can say that money power is not a kind of ability?"

System: [……]

The second floor of the cinema was suddenly opened, and regular customers did not think it was wrong. After all, the sign "Expansion under construction, please do not go upstairs" had been hung for a long time.

However, the second floor was opened, and there was a shortage of staff.

Lu Yao arranged Mingyuan to check tickets on the second floor, and she herself guided customers who were interested in claw machines and vending machines in the rest area.

A new recruitment notice was posted downstairs again, recruiting two male and female clerks.

Jin Lu and Qi Wu followed Die Qi to the cinema in the morning, preparing to buy tickets for the earliest show, but saw the recruitment notice on the door, looked at each other, and went to see Die Qi again.

Isn't this just perfect?

​​The cinema is short of people, not that they are rushing to stay.

When they had dinner together last night, Die Qi didn't allow the two of them to enter the cinema because there were too many people.

The shopkeeper is not stupid, and he will definitely find something wrong if he comes again.

Die Qi's eyes were cold and unmoved, "We agreed last night that you two will play in Liangjing for two days and then return to Mushui City."

Jin Lu and Qi Wu felt wronged, but they didn't dare to resist.

Die Qi has been in charge of Ling Xiao Pavilion's internal affairs for many years. He has accumulated prestige over the years, and his harsh words are more frightening than Xiao Jiu.

Jin Lu and Qi Wu felt wronged in silence, but they followed Die Qi to the cinema's employee breakfast. Today, it was super luxurious seafood noodles delivered from Mao Rongrong Shop.

After a bowl of large and delicious noodles, the two forgot about their previous unhappiness and ran to buy tickets happily.

It took a while to eat, and when we got out, there was already a line at the door.

The two of us bought tickets and saw that it was on the second floor.
