110 The Eighth Store
◎This chapter is full of melodrama, so be careful.◎
Lu Yao has looked through Lu Yao's memories countless times, but still can't figure out how to upgrade the store's alien space.
She tried to create an illusion with magic, but the illusion was always an illusion and couldn't become a physical entity like the alien space, and the two couldn't merge, so the expansion of the third floor of the Internet cafe was forced to stop.
This small competition had to follow the layout of the last competition, with the competition venue on the first floor and the guests watching on the second floor.
Originally, a holographic projection was needed to be used to project the live game on the first floor from the second floor, but Lu Yao didn't understand holography, and the ordinary clerks didn't understand it either. They couldn't contact the 1041 team in the Sea of Eden, so they had to use the water curtain projection of the Floating World Continent.
The surface of the water curtain was shimmering, just like the surface of a lake. The picture was not clear enough, and there was no sound, so the projection effect was not ideal.
When Lu Yao proposed to use the water curtain, he was a little nervous.
But Cheng Ye and Xiao Zhong did not raise any objections, and turned around to inform Jiao Niang to prepare.
Because of the competition, there were many people in the store, and Jiao Niang also came to help during the day.
The mermaid loves water, so it is most appropriate for her to arrange the water curtain.
However, Jiao Niang was in a bad mood these days, and Xiong Anan had not returned since she went out that day.
She asked the owner many times, but Lu Yao didn't care much and perfunctorily passed it over every time.
Jiao Niang was confused and couldn't get any results. She usually went to look for it nearby after work, but unfortunately she couldn't find any trace of the little bear spirit.
She suspected that Xiong Anan had left Buxian Mountain, but she couldn't figure out the reason.
Xiong Anan liked the Internet cafe and everyone so much, why did she leave without saying a word?
The owner was also a little strange. He usually liked Xiong Anan the most and would ask about her when
he didn't see her for a long time. This time, after several days, she didn't seem anxious or worried.
Jiao Niang sighed, thinking that the human race was really cold-hearted. She secretly made up her mind that if Xiong Anan didn't come back after the small competition, she would take a leave to look for her.
Others were not worried, but she couldn't ignore it.
Jiao Niang was worried, and she lowered her head to go upstairs to prepare to set up the water curtain.
At the corner of the stairs from the first floor to the second floor, a gray ginseng spirit was squatting.
The little sparrow spirits landed on the ginseng spirit's head in twos and threes, chirping.
Jiao Niang didn't pay any attention at first, but when she saw a pool of water under the roots of the ginseng spirit, she walked over and asked, "What happened?"
The ginseng spirit sobbed softly and couldn't speak.
The leading little sparrow spirit flew up and landed in Jiao Niang's palm, chirping and telling her the whole story.
About half an hour ago, the little sparrow spirits were eating ginseng whiskers in the cage.
The whiskers were given to them by the owner in the morning, and they were full of spiritual energy. The
little sparrow spirits were eating happily. The ginseng spirit went to the bar to buy something, and when he saw a small piece of whisker falling out of the cage, he suddenly became emo.
It turned out that those ginseng whiskers were pulled off by the little ginseng spirit and specially given to the owner.
When the ginseng spirit came to the Internet cafe for the first time, she didn't have any spiritual stones on her. The owner invited her to go online and also treated her to instant noodles and grilled sausages.
She has been cultivating for more than a thousand years. Her true form is a walking tonic. A short section of her whiskers can be sold for thousands of spirit stones in the human world.
The ginseng spirit later became rich by selling whiskers. Thinking that the shop owner was also a human, he plucked the best whiskers from his body and gave them to her.
The little sparrow spirits were at a loss. They just picked up some garbage that the shop owner didn't want to eat, and ended up making the little ginseng spirit cry.
The ginseng spirit grows slowly. After cultivating for a thousand years, it looks like a soft New Year picture doll after transforming, which is particularly lovable.
However, she was too sad at the moment and couldn't hold it back. She didn't want to be seen by too many people, so she changed her original form and squatted in the corner, crying and pulling her whiskers.
Jiao Niang touched the little ginseng spirit. The shop owner has really been a little too much recently.
It was never like this before. Jiao Niang couldn't help but think of her experience in Xie Mansion that year. Maybe people's hearts are so fickle.
Jiao Niang suddenly felt that the Internet cafe was not a place to stay for a long time.

In the lounge on the first floor, the five members of the Shopping Street Team, Ji Zhixin and the store owner sat around on the sofa. The atmosphere was a bit weird.
Just a few minutes ago, Xiao Zhong used the last bit of time to reinforce tactics with the team members and cheer them up.
No matter what, they don't want to lose.
Even if the opponent is a monk, it is said that the monk team has specially refined a special keyboard and mouse.
The store owner suddenly came in and said that she wanted to play in the game instead of ADC Liu Tang.
The atmosphere in the lounge suddenly became silent.
During this time, the fake store owner's influence on the shopping street involved all aspects.
She seemed to have read a lot of success content on the Internet, and used the methods she learned on the store employees.
In just three days, the shop assistants in the shopping street worked overtime and attended meetings every day, and received private messages from the store owner from time to time, and received some jokes and instructions.
The staff's private complaint group was full of negative energy.
They used to think that the shopping street had good benefits, a simple environment, no pressure at work, and they could work until retirement. They didn't expect that they just changed the boss and wanted to quit every minute.
Ji Zhixin comforted his colleagues in the group every day.
Everyone also often went to the furry shop and hot spring hotel to seek healing.
They trained tremblingly, thinking that they could relax after the game, but the fake owner even mixed in the game.
Xiao Zhong's eyes swept among his companions, and everyone lowered their heads and blocked the signal.
"..." Xiao Zhong took a long breath and said in a restrained tone: "Shopkeeper, this may be a bit hasty. You have been busy recently and have not participated in any cooperative training."
Lu Yao did not take Xiao Zhong's words to heart: "It's okay, I have been playing every day recently, and I will not hold you back."
Xiao Zhong's shoulders slumped.
Based on his experience of working with the fake shopkeeper for a few days, it is useless to persuade him at this point.
The fake shopkeeper looks exactly like the real shopkeeper, but his temperament is much different.
But she seemed to be unaware of it.
Ji Qingyan grabbed her suit pants with her hands and could not bear it any longer.
Liu Tang pushed his glasses and took the initiative to say: "Let the shopkeeper play, it doesn't matter whether I play or not."
Lu Yao: "I'll just play once, if you can't do it, you can come up again."
Zhong Lianjia pinched his brows hard, secretly praying that the owner would come back soon.
---
Mirror of the Pure Heart.
The little bear spirit was practicing, Lu Yao sat with his back to him and opened the system panel.
She and Xiong Anan stayed in the illusion for too long and lost their sense of time. Lu Yao suddenly thought of checking the task timer on the system panel.
The task deadline was still more than ten days, so she and Xiong Anan didn't actually stay in the illusion for a long time.
Before exiting the system panel, Lu Yao clicked on the task icon and calculated the time to go out, otherwise the task would really have to be sent.
She suddenly paused and stared at the icon of the immortal clan for a while.
Exit and then come back.
The icon of the immortal clan was actually lit up.
Immortal clan.
Lu Yao could only think of one person.
It seems that the fairy has been having a lot of fun in her shop during this period.
"Bang——"
There was a sound like a cork being pulled out from behind, followed by Xiong Anan's panicked voice: "Don't turn your head!"
Lu Yao: "What's wrong?"
Xiong Anan picked up the Qiankun bag on the ground and poured it out. Snacks, toys, comic books... all kinds of small items, all stuffed into his hands by the clerk and his sister.
Xiong Anan: "...I'm not wearing any clothes."
"Transformed?"
"Yes." Lu
Yao took out a set of modern children's suits from his portable warehouse, "It's not a single piece of clothing, you put it on first."
Xiong Anan quickly took the clothes and spent a few minutes putting them on: "Okay." Lu Yao
stood up, took Xiong Anan out of the mustard seed space, returned to the original room, and looked up.
After reading all the books in the illusion, Lu Yao now knows that this is actually a trial magic weapon.
The method to break the deadlock is hidden in the study next door, and it is not difficult.
---
There was a knock on the door outside the lounge, and Cheng Ye stood at the door: "It's about to start, are you ready?"
Zhong Lianjia took the lead and stood up and walked towards the door.
Outside the door, the members of the Cultivation Team stood in front of the bar, full of momentum.
Seeing that the owner was also walking with the opponent, the members of the Cultivation Team were a little surprised.
When they were training these days, the owner often slacked off and played games, and he was not very good at playing.
If she also played, they would have a greater chance of winning.
The two teams met and turned around and walked towards the competition venue together.
At the door, a cute-looking girl pushed the door open and ran in. She looked around the lobby in panic, found the owner, and walked straight over.
Xiong Pingping: "Owner, I heard that An An is missing?"
Lu Yao was a little upset. He was just a half-demon, and people came to ask about him every day.
"He loves to play, maybe he will come back in a few days."
Xiong Pingping: "But Jiao Niang said that she couldn't find An An after searching all over the Immortal Mountain."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Yao said patiently: "Don't worry, the store is busy now. I will go with you to find him after the competition is over. An An is at the age of loving to play, maybe he forgot to come back after playing somewhere."
Xiong Pingping felt as uncomfortable as if a thousand ants were gnawing at her heart, and she mustered up the courage to say: "But, An An went out with you that morning, how come only you came back, but An An disappeared?"
The contestants were slow to take their seats, and the guests on the second floor were anxious and quarreled.
The Xiuzhen team walking in front also stopped and looked back at the players on the shopping street.
Lu Yao's cheeks were a little hot.
She never took the half-demon bear spirit seriously, so she didn't even look for a replacement.
This negligence caused so much embarrassment.
Outside the door, a black stream of light wrapped in golden light flew in, landed in front of the crowd and transformed into a young man in black clothes and black hair.
Zeyuan came back from somewhere, his robe was covered with dust.
He raised his hand and cast a cleaning spell, turned around and asked Xiao Zhong who was standing in the front: "Where is your owner?"
Xiao Zhong: "..."
Lu Yao did not take the initiative to contact Zeyuan these days, because Lu Yao rarely took the initiative to contact him.
She had been waiting for him to come back, and now she didn't care to deal with Xiong Pingping. She took two steps forward and smiled softly: "You're back."
Zeyuan glanced at her, not caring much, and repeated to Xiaozhong: "Where's Lu Yao?"
The smile on Lu Yao's face froze.
A strange atmosphere suddenly spread, and the people of the cultivation team slowly walked back.
The red-clothed swordsman from the Tianyan Sect asked, "What's going on?"
Xiao Zhong faced the oppressive gaze of the Demon Lord and pointed at Lu Yao: "...The owner...is here."
Ze Yuan glanced at Lu Yao again and said in a cold voice, "It's not her."
Lu Yao took the initiative to step forward: "Ze Yuan, are you too tired? Let's talk in the back."
As soon as she finished speaking, she said, "Xiao Liu, I won't fight you now."
Ze Yuan took a step back, avoiding Lu Yao's hand that was stretched out to pull him, and a golden lotus branch appeared in the air, tightly holding Lu Yao.
The stem of the lotus branch had short thorns that easily cut through the woman's skin and pierced into her flesh, leaving blood stains on her clothes.
In just a few breaths, Lu Yao was sweating all over, his brows knitted in pain, and his lips turned pale.
"How do you know... that I'm not her?"
Ze Yuan's bloodshot eyes were like ice, and his voice was cold: "How could I mistake someone I like when I saw her?"
Tornado and Mobao chased after him, and before they could catch their breath, they heard the master saying shameful words.
The monks next to him were also stunned.
Ze Yuan tightened his fingers, and Lu Yao's clothes immediately turned red: "Where is she?"
Lu Yao tried to curl his lips and squeezed out a smile: "You are late."
Ze Yuan's brows were knitted, and his murderous aura was exposed.
Xiao Zhong summoned up the courage to stop him: "Your Majesty, don't be impulsive!"
Ji Zhixin also said: "The owner is not in danger."
Lu Yao was stunned, raised his eyes, and looked at the shop assistants in the shopping street in surprise. Suddenly, he felt cold all over, and his chest seemed to have countless holes: "You... lied to me?"
The clerks were silent.
Lu Yao was stunned for a long time, and laughed: "Okay, okay! I will definitely be good! Good! Take care of! Her!"
Ji Zhixin closed his eyes heavily.
They were worried and humiliated, fearing that they would anger her and harm the owner, but they still messed up.
Zeyuan was not afraid of this threat at all. He raised his hand and condensed nine small lotus daggers, and the poisonous blades pierced into the other's heart without mercy.
His voice was cold and calm: "Where is she?"
The heart-piercing pain continued to come, and Lu Yao's hateful eyes swept through the shop assistants one by one. Compared with the Demon Lord, she hated the group of false humans who deceived her more.
As long as the Qingxin Mirror was crushed, she and the stupid half-demon would never get out.
Lu Yao concentrated and tried her best to stay calm.
As long as there was a chance...
"Ka--"
A very slight sound came from Lu Yao.
"Ka-ka-ka--"
The sound became more and more intense.
"Ka-ka-ka--blah-la--"
A palm-sized silver mirror fell out of Lu Yao's Qiankun bag, fell to the ground, and shattered. Two figures, one tall and one short, flew out of the mirror.
"Shopkeeper!!!" Xiao Zhong shouted in surprise, ran forward quickly, subconsciously stretched out his hand to Lu Yao, and then awkwardly retracted it when he got close to him, tears almost coming out, "You are finally back."
The shop assistants in the shopping street were stunned for a while in disbelief, and suddenly, as if the "play" button was pressed again, they quickly surrounded Lu Yao.
Lu Yao was surrounded by the shop assistants in the middle, unable to move.
Jiao Niang saw the young boy in the plaid shirt being squeezed aside.
The child had a round face, dark eyes, revealing cunning, a round nose, and dark circles under his eyes at a young age, which inexplicably revealed a bit of pity.
She walked over quickly, "An'an?"
Xiong An'an raised her head and opened her arms to throw herself into Jiao Niang's arms: "Jiao Niang, I'm back."
Seeing Xiong Pingping standing not far away, her face looked hesitant.
Xiong Anan waved: "Sister, sister! I'm here!"
Xiong Pingping came over: "Anan?"
Xiong Anan hugged Xiong Pingping and rubbed her hard, and immediately boasted with a beaming face: "The owner and I were locked in a fantasy by a bad woman. Thanks to my hard work in cultivation, I successfully transformed and took her out."
Lu Yao was startled by the enthusiasm of the clerk. He noticed the cultivation team waiting on the side, patted their shoulders one by one, and comforted them: "You have worked hard during this period. Everyone, calm down first. What's the situation in the store now?"
The clerk suddenly came back to his senses, realized what he had just said and did, and blushed. Lu Yao
learned that the store was holding a small competition. After
this incident, Xiao Zhong asked if he wanted to postpone it for two days.
A lot of time had been wasted because of the fairy. After the game was over and the tasks were almost done, Lu Yao felt that the sooner the better.
However, the farce just now caused a commotion, and the game was finally postponed for an hour. During this period, the guests were comforted and the projection equipment on the second floor was rearranged.
Xuanfeng recognized Lu Yao as a female official of the Demon Palace’s Qindian, and asked Zeyuan to bring her back to the Demon Realm for questioning.
The monks of the cultivation team also asked about this matter, and Lu Yao said a few words briefly.
An hour later, the human-cultivation war was finally officially held.
Lu Yao held Budu and sat in the first row of the viewing area on the first floor, and Harold occupied the seat on the right side of the shop owner.
Ji Zhixin sat on the left and reported in a low voice the situation of the shopping street in the past few days.
The shop assistants in the shopping street sat behind the shop owner, watching the competition at ease.
The little bear spirit's charm was greatly reduced after the transformation, and he didn't understand.
But Jiao Niang and Xiong Pingping were very happy for him. They sat next to him, one on the left and one on the right, and handed him a handful of candy and a fruit.
The little bear spirit was holding the snacks and showing off, and his depressed mood dissipated a lot.
