Zhuang Liang had a feeling that Lu Yao had already left the game.
If the post on the forum was true, he could only think of Lu Yao, the black ring, the new player, and the girl.
Zhuang Liang drove with Qi Jue to the abandoned commercial street on the outskirts of the city. He knew the address of Lu Yao's rented house, but he had a hunch that Lu Yao was still in the snack bar.
He couldn't calm down, and on the way he told Qi Jue about the strange things about Lu Yao.
Qi Jue listened and said calmly, "I don't know what secrets she has, but you will be arrested for this kind of behavior."
Zhuang Liang: "...Are you not curious at all? I checked. The average daily expenditure of that snack bar is more than 5,000 yuan, and sometimes it will double or triple. But there have never been any customers. Where did all those things go? Her store looks so small. Can it store so many things? And her life span. A person who has never entered the game has a life span of 2,000 years. Is this reasonable?" Qi Jue raised his hand
and rubbed his eyebrows. "If you are curious, just ask her directly. Why are you angry with me?"
Zhuang Liang: "...Will she tell you if I ask her?"
Qi Jue: "How do you know if she will tell you if you don't ask?"
Zhuang Liang: "I came to look for her once before, but I was blocked when I just started."
Qi Jue: "..."
Zhuang Liang: "Why don't you talk?"
Qi Jue: "You must have said something rude?"
Zhuang Liang: "..."
There is no point in talking if you don't agree. Zhuang Liang thinks that Qi Jue and his brother Qi Chen have very different personalities and he doesn't understand him at all.
In the snack bar, Lu Yao is making a menu. He has to prepare something decent to receive the demon god in three days.
[Lu Yao Snack Bar is famous in the hometown of Huangquan and is deeply loved by customers. It has gained a popularity of one million and has been upgraded to a six-star store. The reward is one free store upgrade, 3 new shop assistants, and the owner can add menus freely.
Lu Yao was surprised that he could finally use the menu freely.
Because there was not enough space on the menu and there were many new categories, later on, things like coffee, desserts, and noodles could not be subdivided, and they could only be written in general terms.
She always felt that it was not good, and it took a lot of time for customers to place orders.
Tomorrow she will make a new menu, classify all the food and drinks in the snack bar, and put one on each table on each floor.
It is indeed time to recruit new shop assistants, and Qi Chen on the second floor is too busy to handle it alone.
Lu Yao: "Help me post a recruitment advertisement. Does free store upgrade mean that I don't have to spend popularity points this time?"
The system gave a positive answer.
Lu Yao stroked his chin and said, "Okay, I'll draw the drawings for you later, and we'll upgrade tonight."
The shop assistants had already left work, the ordered goods were put into the store, and the snack bar upgrade drawings were submitted to the system.
After taking care of these things, Lu Yao prepared to go back to her residence.
She put on her bag, opened the door, and saw Qi Jue raising his hand to knock on the door. She paused and said, "Why are you here again?" Qi
Jue was much taller than Lu Yao and could easily see the internal structure of the snack bar.
At first glance, it was a simple and clean store, and even the kitchen was open.
But he also felt the discomfort that Zhuang Liang said, and felt inexplicably dangerous, and absolutely did not want to step in.
Zhuang Liang poked his head out from behind Qi Jue, trying to hide the surprise in his eyes: "You're really back. We've been waiting for you in the teahouse, why didn't you come back there?"
They seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and Lu Yao couldn't keep his face cold. In addition, after chatting with Qi Chen, Lu Yao had a much better impression of Qi Jue, so he said: "I've been out for a long time, from somewhere else. Thank you for your concern."
Zhuang Liang wanted to know if she was the novice player mentioned in the post, and be careful He asked cautiously: "How did you feel when you entered the game for the first time?"
Lu Yao raised her hand and waved outside. The two of them stepped back a little. She walked out and turned back to lock the door. She repeated what she had said to Qi Chen in the afternoon: "There was blood and body parts everywhere, and internal organs were all on the ground. The floor was sticky with blood, and it was very easy to slip. It hurt so much to fall."
Zhuang Liang was speechless: "..."
It was confirmed that she must be the novice player who fell to the ground and was helped away by the NPC.
The green sticker was actually real. Even though he was mentally prepared, Zhuang Liang still found it ridiculous.
Lu Yao: "If there is nothing else, I want to go home."
Zhuang Liang stood where he was, without the courage to chase after her.
Confirming that Lu Yao was the novice player who could make the NPCs of the Black Ring World bow down, many thoughts came to his mind. Combined with the unlimited black ring, the two must have some connection.
Could she be from that world?
No matter what the truth is, the only thing Zhuang Liang is sure of is that Lu Yao is not someone they can mess with.
As for why Lu Yao opened a store in this old and dilapidated street, and where the large amount of food he bought went, he was no longer interested.
Qi Jue stepped forward: "Wait a minute."
Zhuang Liang glared: ??? Why did you mess with her? Let her go.
Lu Yao turned around: "Anything else?"
Qi Jue pointed to the store behind him, "I want to know, why do you want to open a snack bar here? Can you make money? Are there really customers coming?"
Lu Yao: "I am happy to do so. I don't make money, but I have customers. Is that ok?"
Qi Jue nodded blankly.
The girl was young, but quite arrogant.
Hearing the words "there are customers", Zhuang Liang was even more horrified. He didn't dare to breathe normally until Lu Yao disappeared at the intersection.
Qi Jue looked back, with some confusion in his eyes.
Zhuang Liang didn't understand: "What's wrong?"
"The snack bar is gone." Qi Jue said.
Zhuang Liang looked back, but there was nothing there. His legs suddenly went limp: "Fuck, fuck, fuck! Go away, I was wrong! I won't come back again."
After Lu Yao left the snack bar, the "witch's veil" concealed the location of the snack bar.
But Zhuang Liang didn't know about this. He got sick when he got home, closed the door and refused to see customers for a long time.
The next day, Lu Yao came to the store with a Polaroid camera hanging around his neck and a kimchi pot in his arms.
The staff and customers were all amazed. Overnight, the snack bar expanded another floor and became a beautiful three-story blue building. The huge blue sign on the top of the door became more and more eye-catching.
Lu Yao opened the door and asked the staff to come in first. Customers lined up at the door.
Xingzi came in and asked, "Why is there another floor? What are you selling this time?"
Xiaoqie and Qi Chen looked at Lu Yao expectantly. Quan Shengju didn't say anything, but his eyes were also curious.
Bai Ming leaned aside, looking out the window, and seemed to be worried.
Lu Yao shook his head: "There just happened to be an opportunity, so I'll expand it first. I haven't decided what to do yet. I'll consider it after I recruit new employees and finish entertaining Lord Demon."
Except for Xiao Qie who knew about it in advance, everyone else instantly forgot what they were talking about just now, and crowded in front of Lu Yao in shock: "Lord Demon is coming to the store for dinner?"
Xingzi held her head with both hands and said in disbelief: "Lord Demon has been missing for nearly a hundred years, and even the guards don't know where He is. He is actually coming to the store for dinner? No, we must prepare well."
Qi Chen squatted on the ground, his face full of horror: "Demon, can't it be that one? The existence that brings divine punishment to players who violate the rules of the park?"
He has a deep psychological shadow. When the game failed at the end, he seemed to have seen Him, but he couldn't remember it.
Lu Yao glanced at Bai Ming, but still couldn't connect the young man in front of him, who was as beautiful as if he had walked out of a comic book, with the black-haired and black-eyed boy Bai Ming in the illusion.
Would a person's appearance change so much after death?
After a quarrel, the store began to operate normally.
The employees each performed their duties, and Lu Yao was making a new menu in the back kitchen.
She spent some time making all the food on the menu by herself, including the coffee and desserts on the second floor, and then took pictures one by one.
Then she pasted the photos on the book provided by the system, which was simply divided into snacks, pasta, drinks and desserts. The thick menu had pictures and text, which was very convenient to use.
And this one is the general menu of the snack bar, and the menus placed on the table for customers to take are all copies of it.
As long as Lu Yao added new dishes and pictures to the main menu, they would all be added to the copies immediately, so she didn't have to worry too much.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. In order to welcome the Lord Demon, the snack bar hung up a closing sign half a day in advance.
Lu Yao was busy in the kitchen, and several employees were watching nervously. Thinking that the Lord Demon was coming, they didn't know where to put their hands.
In the evening, the temperature suddenly dropped. The employees didn't feel it. Lu Yao touched his arm and felt cold.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Xingzi and Xiaoqie both responded, and Lu Yao knew it was the door to this world.
She wiped her hands and walked to the door, "Who is it?"
"It's me." An old and familiar voice.
Lu Yao opened the door, and it was the Demon God standing outside.
There was only a skeleton inside the demon god, with his armor loosely on his body and a tattered cloak.
As he walked, his bones stood up, as if they would fall apart at any time.
Lu Yao was shocked, but not very scared.
When the demon god came in, Xingzi, Xiaoqie and other residents of the Dreamland bowed their heads and saluted the demon god.
Except for Lu Yao and Bai Ming.
The demon god looked at Bai Ming and laughed, "How dare the evil demon possess my people?"
Lu Yao tilted his head and saw something peeling off Bai Ming's body.
The young man with silver hair and red eyes separated from Bai Ming like a transparent phantom, and Bai Ming turned into the appearance that Lu Yao had seen in the illusion.
A sixteen-year-old boy with black hair and black eyes.
The detached phantom, with its handsome silver hair and red eyes, looked deeply at Lu Yao and gradually disappeared.
Was Bai Ming possessed by something?
Later, for a long time, an incredible joke spread in the snack bar.
Xiao Qie always told the customers with great interest: "I'll tell you a joke. There was a clerk in our store who was strong enough to participate in the guard selection, but he was possessed by a ghost for more than a month and didn't notice it at all. If it wasn't for the demon god coming to the store that day... a ghost was possessed by a ghost, hahahahaha, I could laugh for ten years."
Every time Bai Ming wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
According to him, he was conscious during that time and was not controlled. But he also didn't remember that his appearance had changed, and he didn't know why that thing attached itself to him.
Thinking about it carefully, when the captain of the guard found him, he was already leaning over, and even the captain of the guard didn't notice anything wrong.
Bai Ming's matter was naturally surprising, but what was more important at the moment was to receive the Lord Demon.
Everyone quickly adjusted their mood and got busy.
Lu Yao led the Demon to sit by the window.
The night outside the window was silent, and the lights on the other side of the river were reflected obliquely in the water, sparkling, quiet and beautiful.
The Demon turned his head and looked for a while, and noticed the row of succulents on the windowsill, which were plump and round and very cute.
He moved his fingertips slightly, without stretching out, and the row of succulents quickly shrank and turned black, turning into a handful of ash and falling on the tiles.
Lu Yao came out with a plate of food and saw this scene. The power of the demon god is much more terrifying than that of the captain of the guards.
The demon god turned his head, and his knuckles, which were only white bones, were facing each other helplessly, and he felt a little aggrieved: "I'm just a little curious."
He was just a dry skeleton, with two black holes in his eyes, and his teeth could be seen shaking up and down when he spoke.
Lu Yao walked over and asked while serving the dishes: "Master Demon God's illusion should be very powerful, right?"
The demon god raised his chin proudly: "Of course."
Lu Yao said: "Then you can help me pinch a few succulents, put them in and they will never die again."
The demon god looked at the empty flowerpot and hesitated for a long time, turned his head and looked at Lu Yao with his empty eye sockets: "No matter how good the illusion is, it can't compare to the real thing. I still like these you planted more." He
is worthy of being a demon god, not euphemistic at all.
Lu Yao nodded: "Okay, it's not difficult. Break off a piece from the plant next to it and plant it tomorrow. It will soon grow roots. Your meal is here, please enjoy."
The demon god was a little dissatisfied: "You let me eat alone?"
The lonely old man said in a willful tone.
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Just treat it as an appetizer, you eat first, and we'll have dinner together later."
The demon god lowered his head and saw the table full of dishes. He sat in silence for a while and slowly picked up his chopsticks.
