Chapter 211 The Fifth Store



Lu Yao was packing things in the lounge. She would be going to the palace tomorrow and would need to use a lot of machines.

To prevent mistakes, she was going to engrave a magic circle on each item to prevent loss.

Jin Lu and Qi Wuxing hurriedly pushed the door open, "Boss, we are back."

Lu Yao was still packing things, "Thank you for your hard work."

Qi Wu handed the signed order receipt to Lu Yao.

Jin Lu took out a brown cloth bag from his chest, opened it carefully, and handed it to Lu Yao: "Boss, the old master from the kiln gave us this and asked me to bring it to you."

Lu Yao stopped what he was doing, looked up, "Is this... glass?" What

lay in Jin Lu's hand was a lipstick tube that looked like glass. Its transparency was not as high as the glass door of a cinema, but the outline of the glass could be seen, and it was specially burned into the shape of a lipstick tube.

Jin Lu smiled and nodded: "The old master came to the cinema to watch "Moon Landing" two days ago. He said that he was inspired and went back to the kiln for two days and two nights, changing several materials before firing this lipstick tube. He wanted to come to see you in person and ask if this is very similar to the transparent wall of the cinema? But the old man couldn't stand it after two days and wanted to go back to rest, so he asked us to bring this to you first."

Lu Yao picked up the piece of glass lipstick tube and called out the system: "Certification."

[Confirm that one positive feedback affected by the cinema has been observed. A total of three positive feedbacks have been certified, and two new films have been released during the mission. The progress of the mission is five-sixths. Please keep up the hard work, owner! ]

Lu Yao relaxed and waited for the premiere of "Daliang Tixingguan" tomorrow, and the mission would be completed.

She took a closer look at the glass lipstick tube and said to Jin Lu and Qi Wu, "It is indeed glass, the same material as the transparent walls of the cinema. It's just that the glass used in the cinema is quite special. For the time being, the hardness and transparency may not be the same. But it is still very remarkable that such a result can be obtained in a short time through self-exploration. It is really remarkable."

The mirror may be online in advance.

Qi Wu came over and said, "Shopkeeper, can the lipstick tube be changed to this style? I think this one is shiny and looks good."

Scarcity makes things valuable, and it is applicable everywhere.

Lu Yao and Fu Chi both prefer today's white porcelain lipstick tubes, and the people of the Da Wu Dynasty probably prefer glass packaging.

Lu Yao felt that he could indeed produce a batch of glass lipstick tubes to promote lipsticks again and popularize the use of glass.

She nodded and said, "When the old master from the kiln factory comes, I will talk to him."

Lu Yao put away the glass lipstick tubes that Jin Lu brought back and continued to pack up.

After a while, Hongyu reported, "The Jiang family who sent a visiting card a few days ago has come."

Lu Yao's hands kept moving, "Please ask them to go to the tea room on the second floor, I will go there right away."

Recently, he often receives some store owners and various guests. Lu Yao feels that it is a bit inappropriate to always receive guests in the lounge, so he opened a new tea room upstairs to receive guests who discuss business cooperation.

Lu Yao pushed open the door of the tea room. Die Qi and the butler were standing at the door. Old Lady Jiang, Jiang Yudie and Jiang Cheng were sitting around the table, drinking tea and eating snacks.

Old Lady Jiang stood up immediately when he saw Lu Yao, "Shopkeeper Lu." Lu Yao

walked over quickly and raised his hand to stop him, "Old sir, please sit down. You don't have to be so polite."

Jiang Yudie and Jiang Cheng looked sideways. It was the first time they saw the old lady being so polite to others, and Lu Yao's attitude was a little different from the last time they met them.

Lu Yao had already asked someone to investigate the background of the Jiang family.

Most of the spies and spies were employed in the store, so there was no need to hire anyone else. Intelligence was obtained quickly and steadily.

The Jiang family was like an old tree with deep roots and lush leaves. Its roots were in the south of the Yangtze River, but its branches and leaves stretched far away. They were present throughout the Dawu Dynasty.

The old man who came today was the last generation of the Jiang family. The Jiang family had its peak for thirty years under his leadership.

Although the current Jiang family still has the title of the richest family, it is far inferior to the current head of the family.

However, it may be that the change of the head of the family is to restrain his hands and feet. After all, the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

When Lu Yao received the visiting card

, he was a little surprised. He thought that after the last meeting, the people of the Jiang family would at most change their attitude towards contact. He didn't expect to attract such a person.

Old Lady Jiang looked at Lu Yao, with a faint smile on her wrinkled face. Her eyes, which had seen the vicissitudes of life, revealed a curiosity and praise that was inconsistent with her age: "I thought I had worked hard all my life and had met countless people. I was no longer surprised by the world's affairs and people. I didn't expect that at this age, I could still meet someone like Lu, the young people are really formidable."

This... is it a compliment?

Lu Yao was stunned and didn't react.

Jiang Yudie, Jiang Cheng and the butler standing by the door almost lost the ability to control their expressions. Even the current big boss had never been praised so highly by the old lady.

Only Die Qi looked as if it was a matter of course, and the young shopkeeper was of course the best.

Lu Yao lowered his head slightly, raised his hand and pulled his hair, "I'm afraid you didn't come here today just to praise the young man?"

Old Mrs. Jiang laughed, "It's inhumane, not at all. Maybe I'm old, and I don't like those roundabout and pretentious tricks. Xiaolu, I watched the movie "Moon Landing" in your cinema a few days ago." Lu

Yao sat up straight, put one hand on the table, leaned forward, and put on a listening posture.

The lines on Grandpa Jiang's face were concentrated in the middle, like gullies dug out by the wind on a pile of yellow sand, but her eyes were shining: "That play was great, really great. No matter when, only a small group of people can walk in the front. The advantage of being old is that you know a little more than young people. I can vaguely smell a hint of wind. It's a pity that I'm old and can no longer be the torch that walks in the front. I think about it, being an ugly stepping stone seems not bad."

When she said the last few words, Grandpa Jiang's face revealed unmistakable regret and unwillingness, but her tone was slow and firm.

Lu Yao clenched his fingers and smiled faintly: "Without those stones of various shapes building up the stairs, how can there be the torch of those walking in front? Take the "Moon Landing Project" for example. The astronauts' successful landing on the moon was not just the credit of one or two research groups. If it weren't for the taxes paid by millions of subjects over the years, how could they support their unstoppable progress? So there have never been ugly stepping stones, but only solid foundations built up by countless fine sand and dust."

"Bang--" With a crisp sound, Jiang Yudie accidentally broke the water cup, her face slightly at a loss: "Sorry, I didn't hold it steady for a moment."

Old Lady Jiang seemed to have heard nothing, staring straight at Lu Yao, and suddenly raised her hands to cover her eyes and laughed loudly: "Young people are formidable, they are indeed formidable."

Die Qi cleaned up the debris on the ground and replaced a new cup of tea for Jiang Yudie.

Jiang Yudie looked at Lu Yao with a complicated look, and her hands under the table slowly clenched into fists.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of that person.

Once upon a time, that person also said something similar to the old lady.

But at that time, she did not give such a beautiful answer like Lu the shopkeeper.

Jiang Cheng was almost dumbfounded, this woman was really bold.

Old Lady Jiang is a wonderful person. After coming to Liangjing, she lingered in the cinema every day and saw movies, modern toilets, dryers, claw machines, exotic food, lipstick...all kinds of novel things. She still did not change her original intention and wanted to cooperate with the cinema to open a paper mill.

Jiang will build a new paper mill in Liangjing, specializing in the research of toilet paper.

Lu Yao invested in technology, and then split the profits 50-50, and all of Jiang's connections and financial resources can be used by her.

Lu Yao felt a sense of madness, the infinite obsession and enthusiasm of human beings to explore the unknown.

Looking far ahead to know new things, and then searching up and down, isn't that the case?

Lu Yao signed a contract with Jiang readily.

Just making paper, Old Lady Jiang seemed to have found a happy thing in his remaining life. As soon as the contract was signed, he immediately stood up and said that he would go out of the city to start building a new paper mill.

He did not dare to start the construction without receiving Lu Yao's message.

Old Lady Jiang, Jiang Cheng and the housekeeper left first, and Jiang Yudie did not get up.

When only Lu Yao was left in the room, Jiang Yudie said: "Lu Yao, let me ask you. If...if a woman wants to take power in the world,

what do you think?"

Lu Yao folded his hands and looked calm: "Why not?"

Jiang Yudie's eyes trembled, and he exhaled a long breath. His voice was very low, but his words were very heavy: "Just like that? So rash?"

Lu Yao spread his hands: "Then what do you want to hear? Is this not possible? It's treasonous?"

Jiang Yudie was asked. Lu Yao

stood up: "There is nothing new under the sun. If you encounter something you really can't figure out, you might as well find some books to read. Maybe you can find the answer you want. Sorry, I still have some things to deal with." Jiang Yudie blushed slightly, feeling that she was ridiculed for not reading enough. Lu Yao saw that her face was not right, and sat down again: "For the matter you are talking about, there is actually a big difference between 'thinking' and 'doing'. If you just ask for my opinion, I think she has chosen a very difficult path. But whether it is 'thinking' or having 'done', she is very powerful." When answering Jiang Yudie, Lu Yao had already guessed who she was talking about. Jiang Yudie did not ask any more questions and remained silent. Lu Yao let Die Qi watch, and there was no need to urge her. When she wants to leave, she will leave by herself. Lu Yao checked the equipment she would use to enter the palace, burned all of them with anti-loss magic circles, and returned to the shopping street. She first went to a snack bar to meet with professionals from the park's technical department to learn about the principles and usage of advanced illusions. The director of the technical department explained in detail, and Lu Yao followed his ideas and tried to use illusions. After three times, he mastered the usage of advanced illusions. Director of the technical department: "...I heard from the chief guard that you are not dead." Lu Yao nodded: "I don't understand it either, but it doesn't feel that difficult. But I also learned illusions before, and I know some simple magic. Can it be considered as analogy?" The director of the technical department still felt that it shouldn't be so easy. After all, he was a living person. It would be strange for him to use illusions. It doesn't make sense that he could even learn advanced illusions. Lu Yao didn't know how to explain, so he took out the Demon God's finger bone and said, "Before, the Demon God gave me a piece of bone. I heard that this became his half body. Could this be the reason?" The head of the technical department was surprised, "So that's the case." This seems to make sense. Knowing the principles of high-level illusion, Lu Yao's thoughts became clearer. He discussed with the head of the technical department and quickly determined the prototype plan. Meng Qin from the snack bar is also a master at pinching machines. Lu Yao handed over the handover matters with the technical department to him, and then went to the furry shop to contact the 1041 team. Lu Yao had just communicated with the 1041 team about the latest progress of the "Z series technology" when Jiuhua came up. Jiuhua pushed a stack of manuscripts in front of Lu Yao and said, "The first phase of the outline has been written. Take a look and tell me directly if there are any changes that need to be made." It must be said that Teacher Jiu's professionalism is also incredible. In just a few days, one-third of the entire outline was written. When Lu Yao was writing the script, Jiuhua was beside him, and the two of them discussed and revised it. It was not until the store closed in the afternoon that they worked overtime for nearly two hours, and revised it twice before they were finally satisfied. After leaving the furry shop, Lu Yao handed a copy of the original manuscript to the film department of the park. When the script is handed over to a suitable director, Lu Yao will come over to discuss it with the director in detail. After dealing with the two major problems of the script and holographic technology, Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and planned to take a walk along the shopping street to get some fresh air before returning to the nail salon to rest. Passing by the post-production office, Lu Yao found that some people had not left yet, so he knocked on the door and said, "Liu Tang, why haven't you left work yet?" Liu Tang immediately stood up and said, "Boss, I'm waiting for you." Lu Yao was puzzled: "Waiting for me? What's the matter?" Did he want to resign? Liu Tang held the hem of his shirt with both hands, and said loudly, "Boss, I've seen you before, in the game." Lu Yao looked Liu Tang up and down, and had no impression at all: "What game? I don't play games very often, did you recognize the wrong person?" Liu Tang: "Paradise. I didn't expect to meet you again." Lu Yao scratched his head, he was a bit unlucky recently. First, Qi Chen was discovered by Fu Chi, and now he recruited the players of the paradise into the shopping street. The system watched the show: [What should I do? ]

Lu Yao didn't say anything, Liu Tang continued to talk to himself: "It's you. I just want to say thank you. If it wasn't for you that day, I'm afraid I would be dead, not to mention being able to come here to work."

"Thank you, Lu Yao." Liu Tang said with all his strength, his heartbeat was totally out of control, "boom, boom, boom" like a drum.

Lu Yao frowned and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I don't remember, you must have recognized the wrong person. It's late, it's hard to get a taxi here, go back early."

She really didn't remember.

Liu Tang was sure that Lu Yao was the female player he met when he entered the park for the third time.

He understood Lu Yao's attitude. She might really not have noticed him at that time, but she just wanted to say this matter in her heart, and she finally felt relieved after saying it.

After Liu Tang finished speaking, he put on his bag and prepared to leave, "Boss, I'm going back then." Lu Yao

shook his head as he looked at Liu Tang's departing figure.

Players are just players. With that kind of experience, their acceptance should be stronger than that of ordinary people. Their working ability is also not bad. They are bound by a confidentiality agreement, so there shouldn't be any problem. We

can talk about this with the amusement park. The NPCs actually like to hear about the players' interesting stories.

The next day, at the cinema.

"Daliang Tixingguan" premiered as scheduled. The theme of ancient suspense reasoning and case-solving is down-to-earth and interesting. Many people lined up to buy tickets to watch it.

However, after the premiere, most of the guests came out with angry faces, or frowned and shook their heads repeatedly.

"Who is the murderer? Why don't you broadcast the case all at once? How am I going to spend these five days?"

"Yes, yes. The case was about to be solved, but suddenly it was gone. We have to wait until the next show to see the real murderer. It's so frustrating." Lu

Yao stood in the aisle, listening to the guests' complaints, and smiled like a profiteer.

Fu Chi passed by and shook his head: "Vulgar taste."

"Daliang Judicial Officer" has a total of 36 episodes, with more than ten cases of varying sizes.

Lu Yao asked the post-production team to break up and re-edit, striving to end each episode at the critical point of the case being closed. The next episode will solve the case of the previous episode, catch the murderer, and then continue to lay the foundation for the next case, and so on.

Lu Yao said nonchalantly: "What's the big deal? These five days are for the audience to analyze clues, discuss details, and infer the murderer like playing a guessing game. The next round is to get the answer. Don't you think it's very interesting?"

Fu Chi thought about it for a moment and had to admit that it was indeed quite interesting.

Some of the ideas of the store owner may seem narrow at first glance, but they always make sense if you think about it carefully.

At this time, another customer passed by complaining.

"I have never been so tormented. I can't figure out who the murderer is. I can't sleep tonight!"

"Actually, I have some ideas. The murderer may be..."

"You are not right. The man was drinking in the tavern at the time. The proprietress and the waiter can testify. I think the murderer should be..."

[Three new films were successfully released, and three positive feedbacks influenced by the movies were observed. Mission accomplished! Reward popularity value 300,000 points, 3D cinema +2! 】

【Lu Yao's super-time and space cinema is extremely popular and is loved by the people. It has been upgraded to a five-star cinema. Reward popularity value 500,000 points, special props time and space key +1. Please keep up the hard work, store owner! 】

Lu Yao inspected the screening area and just returned to the lounge when he received a system prompt.

The increase in 3D cinemas and the upgrade of the store's star level are all happy things, but what is the time and space key?

System: [Simply put, it is a prop that can travel through time and space. 】

Lu Yao opened the portable warehouse, and the time and space key was already lying in the grid.

This prop is very cartoon-like, with many silver lines outlining the shape of the key. The lines are crooked and irregular, and there are some dots of different sizes on each line. A one-time prop that

can travel through time and space

, it turns out there are such interesting rewards.

Lu Yao played with the time and space key for a long time, but didn't hear the follow-up prompts, and couldn't help asking: "No new tasks yet?" As

soon as the voice fell, the prompt sounded: [The ultimate task has been opened. The emperor of the Dawu Dynasty seems to be deeply troubled by something. He has no appetite and can't sleep at night. Please use the main products sold in this store to relieve the emperor's worries. The result of the task will determine whether you can continue to the next world. Please work hard to complete the task! 】

Lu Yao pondered the ultimate mission this time, "No time limit?"

System: [Yes. 】

Lu Yao: "The mission requires to solve the emperor's troubles with movies?"

System: [Probably. 】

Lu Yao: "Then what is the use of the props just issued?"

System: [The store owner judges the timing of using the props by himself, and this system will judge whether it is used properly. 】

Lu Yao: "What are the rules for judging the results of the mission?"

System: [The emperor's satisfaction is an important reference indicator. 】

Lu Yao couldn't help but raise his thumb, "High, really high!"

The system pretended not to understand the store owner's weird tone: [Aren't you going to enter the palace? I wish you good luck. 】

It was indeed late, Lu Yao quickly put his mood in order and prepared to go out.

Harold and Ye Xiao were also ready, waiting at the gate with their carriage.

This trip to the palace had an additional important mission - to find out what the emperor was thinking.
