Chapter 29 The Second Store



System: [Why?]

Lu Yao: "Is it possible that jewelry is also a scarce commodity for me."

System: [Scam, the store owner clearly has hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings, but she cries about poverty every day.]

Lu Yao: "... Are you checking my savings?"

She did have some savings, but the money was hard-earned.

Lu Yao has few relatives. Her parents separated before she could remember, and she lived with her mother.

When she was in middle school, her mother was in a car accident and died unexpectedly, leaving her alone.

The driver of the accident paid 600,000 yuan in compensation. Lu Yao was a minor at the time and was taken to live with her uncle.

When she became an adult, only 100,000 yuan of the 600,000 yuan was left in her hands. In order to get the money back, she even tore her face with her uncle's family.

But Lu Yao used this money as starting capital and worked several side jobs during college, which brought her a stable income.

On the eve of her graduation trip, her savings increased several times.

As a result, an accident occurred during the trip, and she was tied to the cheating dream-making system of another world business. After opening a store, her assets accumulated over the years were reduced by half.

System: [When the store owner makes a wish, your past experience and all assets are connected to this system.]

It did not deliberately check the store owner's savings.

"Okay, I'll trust you this time." Lu Yao lay down, already on the boat, and the money had been spent. It seemed that it was no big deal for the system to know about her savings.

The system still did not give up: [Are you really not considering opening a jewelry store? Have you thought about the clues? That claw indicates a very powerful creature, and its claws tightly grasp gold, silver and treasures, which must be their favorite things. 】

Lu Yao didn't want to waste words with the system, and directly asked: "Can you go online by yourself?"

The system seemed to be stunned for a moment, and paused for two seconds before answering: [Of course. 】

Lu Yao: "You can go to the official websites of two high-end jewelry stores to have a look."

Five minutes later, the system came back dejected.

Not to mention the top jewelry, even the most ordinary custom jewelry, the store owner's savings can hardly buy two pieces.

When Lu Yao got the clue of the first world, the system analyzed the four words "Five Flavors of the World" and suggested selling seasonings.

At that time, Lu Yao knew that the small system was even less reliable than it looked.

Seeing that it had calmed down, she was going to go to the snack bar first to decide on the deputy manager.

Lu Yao arrived at the snack bar, pushed the door open and found something different in the store.

There was still half an hour before the store opened, and Xingzi, Bai Ming, Xiao Qie, Qi Chen, Quan Shengju and Chi were all there. In the past, they always arrived at the store on time, neither early nor late, unless there were special arrangements.

Today, not only did they come early, but when Lu Yao arrived, all the preparations were done.

When the clerks saw her, they immediately came over to help with bags and pour water, and were more attentive and considerate than usual.

Lu Yao had just opened the store and spent most of her time in the snack bar. She had only been to the theme park once, so she didn't really understand this world.

But she often saw customers leaning against the window to look at the scenery, reluctant to leave for a long time, or gathered in a circle to carefully touch the succulents on the windowsill.

They yearn for the secular world, and the two worlds separated by a window have clear boundaries that can never be broken.

According to the system, if a clerk becomes the deputy manager of a snack bar and is bound to her soul, he can stay in the world for a short time as long as he does not step out of the snack bar.

When Lu Yao is away, someone has to move the goods into the store. This is the core reason why the deputy manager has special powers. But the clerks don't care, as long as they can go to that world, even for a few minutes, what does it matter if they move a few boxes of goods?

Qi Chen stepped forward first: "Shopkeeper, I am familiar with that place, and I know how to deal with the deliveryman. I can do the job of deputy manager."

The temptation of the real world to Qi Chen is greater than that of others. As long as he thinks that he can go back, he seems to be able to feel the excitement of his heart beating rapidly.

Xiao Qie immediately retorted, "It's just moving goods, who can't do it? Xiao Qi doesn't even dare to enter the theme park, I doubt your responsibility."

This directly grasped Qi Chen's sore spot. The memory of entering the theme park as a player in his previous life was too deep. After his identity change, he still kept his distance from the theme park.

Qi Chen gritted his teeth and said, "What does being a deputy store manager have to do with entering the theme park?"

Xingzi said, "The deputy store manager not only has to handle store affairs, but also has to solve problems encountered by customers at any time. Many of the customers are theme park employees, and there are also guards. Xiao Qi may not be able to handle it."

Bai Ming also stood up. The sixteen-year-old boy had a childish face, but spoke very steadily: "Let me do it. I have strong soul power and know How to get along with the living without revealing your true intentions. I've been in the kitchen and have experience in receiving guests."

Xiaoqie pouted and whispered, "The former guard who was possessed by a ghost can't make people feel at ease."

Bai Ming was sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, and he choked for a moment: "..."

Chi was laughing on the side and wanted to stand up and fight for it, but before he opened his mouth, he was killed by everyone's eyes with "a newcomer who hasn't even passed the probation period, don't come to join in the fun."

Quan Shengji wanted to fight for it, but he felt that he was ordinary and couldn't compare to these big guys who had more or less experience in the theme park. He sat quietly on the side with a wry smile.

Xingzi sat down next to Lu Yao, hugged her arm, and said bluntly: "Shopkeeper, I also want to be the deputy store manager."

Facing several pairs of sparkling eyes, Lu Yao lowered his head, a little embarrassed.

"Is there a limit on the number of souls that can be bound?"

System: [As long as the other party is willing to form a bond with you, there is no limit. What do you want to do? ]

Lu Yao looked up at the clerk and said in a gentle voice: "I want to say first, after the soul is bound, you will lose the possibility of returning to the soul."

The food made by Lu Yao can make some people return to the soul. Although it is a low-probability event, everyone has hope before it happens.

But the clerks who are bound to Lu Yao will no longer have the possibility of returning to the soul, and they will become Lu Yao's subordinates.

Xiao Qie said nonchalantly, "I just want to be with the owner forever."

Xingzi nodded, "Me too."

Bai Ming lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then looked at Lu Yao and said solemnly, "Where the owner is is where I belong."

Xingzi jumped up and hit Bai Ming, "Cunning."

Quan Shengju stood up silently and walked to Lu Yao's side, "I am willing too."

Qi Chen, who had a strong competitive spirit at first, hesitated.

If there was a chance, he still wanted to leave.

Qi Chen didn't say anything, Lu Yao understood his decision.

She stood up: "Let me tell you my idea. I want to implement a rotating store manager system in the store. Each person will be in charge for a week and take turns on duty. What do you think?"

Xingzi hugged Lu Yao: "Okay, I like the owner the most!"

Others had no objections, and Lu Yao thought this should be the best way.

System: [Congratulations to the store owner for winning the title of "Famous Master of Balancing in Yaoguang City."]

Lu Yao: "...Thank you."

Chi quietly found Lu Yao and said that the trial period was over and he also wanted to bind.

The former guard with strong soul power knew that some people were easy to return to the soul, but the stronger the person, the deeper the obsession, and the possibility of the soul returning was very low.

Xingzi, Baiming, Xiaoqie and he all understood that they wanted to hold on to the warmth and home they had in front of them.

Lu Yao agreed.

When the affairs in the store were almost settled, Lu Yao tied himself to Baiming first, and then to Xingzi a week later.

While tying, Lu Yao saw some of Baiming's memories again. When he was alive, he was an excellent, self-disciplined and somewhat cute high school student.

If he hadn't saved people, he would have taken the college entrance examination in two years, but unfortunately his time stopped at the age of sixteen.

When he saved people, he didn't think about dying.

After death, he was worried that his parents could not bear his departure, and he was obsessed with it. He dazedly entered the dreamland and became Baiming.

Lu Yao also saw something else.

The young man with silver hair and red eyes stood in the gap between the two worlds, waiting for Bai Ming to come, possessing him, changing Bai Ming's appearance, and following him to the land of dreams.

Goods were due in the afternoon, so Lu Yao handed the deputy store manager's work badge to Bai Ming.

The work badge produced by the system has a special binding effect, and only when wearing the badge can the star gate be opened.

The delivery man came to the door, and Lu Yao took Bai Ming out.

Bai Ming stood under the eaves, and he felt that everything he saw was brightly colored, and everything looked like new.

There was a faint scent of green grass in the air, and the breeze blew over his skin, making him feel cool and comfortable.

Such a sense of reality cannot be simulated even in the highest-level amusement park games.

Lu Yao introduced the deliveryman: "This is my shop assistant, his last name is Bai. Sometimes I'm not in the store, you can just look for him."

Bai Ming came back to his senses and looked over: "Hello."

The deliveryman was startled and nodded repeatedly, thinking in his heart, this small shop doesn't usually have many customers, but it actually hired employees, it's simply weird!

After receiving the goods, Xingzi and Xiaoqie pestered Bai Ming who came back and asked him what it looked like outside.

Bai Ming slightly curled his lips, with a smile flickering in his eyes: "Very good, I want to stand in the wind forever."

Xingzi clasped her hands together, her eyes shining, "I can't wait!!!" Lu

Yao went upstairs to find Qi Chen, and took out the three black rings that Bai Jian gave her, "Do you know what the market price of this kind of ring is?"

Qi Chen accidentally broke the glass in his hand, and his voice was trembling: "Where did you get so many black rings?"

Lu Yao: "The captain of the guard gave them to me."

Qi Chen was speechless for a while, and was silent for a few seconds: "The market price of the new black ring is between 200,000 and 500,000, but you'd better find someone to help sell it, so as not to be targeted by someone with ulterior motives. You can go find Zhuang Liang." Lu

Yao had a rough idea in her mind, but she didn't plan to find Zhuang Liang, and she guessed that Zhuang Liang didn't want to see her too much.

She logged into the Paradise Forum and spent some time to understand it. There were many posts asking for rings.

Lu Yao uploaded a video of the details of the black ring, quoted a price of 300,000, and directly posted a post for delivery.

Someone soon left a message below.

"Ridiculous! 300,000? Is it new?"

"New ones are not that expensive. What's the difference between this offer and robbery?"

"In the past, there may have been some fools who bought it, but now there are many scammers. Who knows if it is really new? There are few black rings, but there are some that are cheaper than this."

"Disperse, don't be a fat sheep."

There were all kinds of complaints about the fake and expensive rings. There were no replies with the intention of buying. Lu Yao looked at it for a while and then left.

She was not in a hurry about the ring. Last night, she counted the soft girl coins collected by the store employees. There were more than 50,000, which was enough to supply the snack bar for about ten days.

She came out with her bag on her back and walked around the shopping street. It was time to decide on the location of the second store.

The world connected to the snack bar was too special and a bit dangerous, so it would be better to separate the new store from it.

Lu Yao quickly decided on a store, which was two storefronts away from the snack bar. It was still a store in Linjiang, and its area was three times that of the snack bar.

Like the snack bar, the store must be upgraded to a special space before it can welcome customers.

Lu Yao drew the blueprints skillfully, spent 100,000 popularity points to upgrade the store, and simply decorated it.

The maintenance time takes twelve hours, so Lu Yao went home to prepare the tools and materials needed to open the new store.

The system saw her busying around at home organizing nail materials, and was very puzzled: [You are not preparing anything for opening a store, why are you packing up these materials? 】

While working, Lu Yao took the time to answer: "These are the things you need to open a shop."

The system had a bad feeling: [What kind of shop are you going to open? ]

Lu Yao took out the new clues that he had just received from his purse, pointed to the claws on the small picture and said: "Don't you think this claw is particularly beautiful, with long nails, very suitable for manicure?"

System: [...Wake up, this claw looks like a large beast, how can you do manicure? ]

Lu Yao made up her mind to open a nail salon, and the system couldn't stop her. She taught

herself manicure in her freshman year, and her skills became better and better. She had many customers and a lot of materials for manicure.

There were five storage boxes filled with various nail polishes, a large box of glue for rhinestones, patterns, and hemming, as well as various tools, glitter, small diamond pieces, small accessories, and soft pens. The workload was not small.

The next day, Lu Yao called a moving company, threw all the equipment for manicure into the car, and moved it all to Lu Yao's nail salon next to the snack bar.

The moving master saw that she opened a shop on such a shabby street and asked in confusion: "How can there be business here?"

Lu Yao said seriously: "Stores in good locations are too expensive. I just graduated and can't afford to rent one. This place is cheap and has a nice view. The store is by appointment. Customers can make an appointment online and come directly. No problem."

The moving master thought she was quite smart and didn't think about it anymore. He helped move the things into the store before leaving.

System: [The owner is getting more and more skilled at lying.]

Lu Yao: "A white lie can save a lot of trouble."

She went to the snack bar first to take a look. The staff were very capable and the store was in good order.

Quan Shengju and Mo Cheng discussed and decided that they would take turns to prepare employee meals. Quan Shengju was on duty on the first day.

They had noodles for breakfast, and Lu Yao also ate a bowl.

Due to too many guests, the third floor was opened to the public, but the kitchen was not yet in use. Lu Yao

planned to sell a black ring before making further plans, so the restaurant would only be used to receive guests for the time being.

There was no new news on the forum, so she took a look and left, returning to the nail salon to continue decorating the store.

Alexandria, North District.

A golden dragon flew quickly over Emerald Town.

The dragon's breath was too terrifying, and weak humans would be frightened to death if they detected their presence, so dragons generally would not stay in towns inhabited by humans.

This dragon disdained to visit human towns, and this time it passed by Emerald Town in order to take a shortcut.

He paused in the air for a moment. A strange little shop just appeared out of thin air in this town, carrying the breath of time and space magic.

Never mind, I overslept and went out late. Harold might take advantage of this issue later. I had to win the fight first.

The golden dragon flew away with its tail wagging. Lu

Yao spent half a day cleaning up the store. He went to a snack bar for lunch at noon and prepared to open for business in the afternoon.

Pushing open the door of the store, there was a not very wide cobblestone road outside. There were many signs in foreign languages ​​on the street. The strange thing was that Lu Yao could understand this language.

She walked outside the store. There were pedestrians coming and going, and occasionally a carriage passed by. It was much more lively than the Dreamland.

To the left of the nail salon was a small fruit stall. The owner was a young lady wearing a floral headscarf. On the right was a small meat stall, with a piece of meat that looked like both cow and pig on the chopping board.

Lu Yao had never seen it before, so she chatted with the stall owner and learned that it was a kind of monster called a pig.

She was sure that the stall owner was definitely not speaking Mandarin, and she didn't know any foreign languages, but the communication was smooth.

Just like in the Dreamland, Lu Yao was also experienced, and was thinking about finding an opportunity to promote the new store, so she skipped this small detail.

There was also a flower shop and a bakery opposite, and Lu Yao looked around and had a general understanding of this world.

The owners of the surrounding shops were also curious about Lu Yao, and when they heard her take the initiative to talk, they also asked some questions, among which the most asked question was what kind of store Lu Yao opened.

Lu Yao pointed to his own store and explained with a smile: "It's a nail salon, a shop that specializes in providing nail services . If you need it, you can come to the store to learn about it."

Within half a day, the news that a strange new shop had opened in the city spread throughout Emerald Town. It was said that it provided nail services.

But when asked specifically what nail services were, no one could tell.

Some people said that the owner of the shop was very strange, with strange clothes and a very special appearance, black hair, black eyes, and white skin, like a foreigner.

Every day, many people gathered outside the nail salon to observe secretly, but no one dared to go into the store, so that the rumors about the nail salon became more and more, and even Linzhen had heard of it.

On this day, the golden dragon overslept again and was about to take a shortcut to find Harold to fight. On the way, he heard many human beings discussing a small shop.

He heard those people excitedly talking about "nail art service", but he didn't hear a specific explanation.

What is nail art service?

The golden dragon was very curious, and couldn't help but look back halfway through the flight, and found the small shop called "Luyao Nail Art Shop".

He circled twice in the air, turned into a human form, and walked into the shop excitedly.
