132 The Ninth Store
◎We are not bad people.◎Lu
Yao walked to the door of the new store and pushed it open.
After a day and a night of maintenance and upgrading, the two old and dilapidated shops were completely renewed. The yellowed walls were repainted. The wall paint echoed the sign outside the door. Purple, blue, pink, yellow... The colors are bright and dazzling, making people feel dizzy at first glance.
The ceiling was re-suspended and painted a light blue sky. In the middle, a cute and bright cloud lamp was replaced.
This time, Lu Yao did not completely break through the wall between the two shops, but only opened a door on the wall.
The door she just entered was the main entrance of the store, and the living room was right after entering the door.
The room next door is divided into three small areas, corresponding to three operation rooms.
However, at this time, the room is empty, and no furniture or equipment has been placed.
The effect of the initial maintenance of the store is good, and Lu Yao plans to complete the remaining soft decoration by himself.
It will take a few days to prepare before the store officially opens.
However, the star gate has been opened, and Lu Yao is really curious about this alien world, so he plans to go out and take a look.
Walking to the front of the store, Lu Yao reached out to pull the door handle.
A translucent screen suddenly appeared in the void, blocking Lu Yao in front of him, and light golden text appeared on the screen like jumping.
[Dear visitor, good evening! Are you sure you want to log in to Lu Yao's creative DIY hut at Shop No. 13, North District, Ghost Street? ]
It is not a system screen.
Lu Yao did not answer immediately. She walked around the screen and reached out to push the door.
The door seemed to be blocked by something, hard and heavy, and did not move at all.
"Beep!"
A dull and short sound rang out, like some kind of prompt sound effect.
Lu Yao withdrew her hand. It seemed that she could not open the door without answering the question.
She walked back to the screen: "Yes, I'm sure."
"Beep--"
[Real-name registration is completed, the store qualifications have been reviewed, and Lu Yao's creative DIY hut is welcome to move into Ghost Street! ]
[Ghost Street is one of the most prosperous streets in the community, and its business hours are from six o'clock to midnight. During the business hours, the entire street is crowded with people, and customers are endless. In order to ensure the normal operation of the store during business hours, before the store officially opens, please read the following rules carefully and abide by them. 】
【1. Before officially opening the store, please go to the North District Street Management Office to get a Ghost Street map, a shop guide, a communicator, and a can of good luck candy. 】
【2. The store is open no earlier than 6 o'clock and closes no later than midnight. 】
【3. Do not go out alone after closing. 】
【4. If you need to recruit new employees, please submit an employment application to the Street Committee Building in the East District of Ghost Street. Store owners are not allowed to recruit employees privately. 】 【
5. Ghost Street is a prosperous and free street. In addition to some ordinary customers, there are also many pioneers who pursue differences. Store owners must treat them equally and receive them properly. 】
【6. Occasionally there are little ghosts who get lost on the street. Please don't panic if you see them. Send them to the church in the West District of Ghost Street, and someone will take them home. If the store is busy, you can also call the church reception room and someone will come to pick them up soon. The church reception room phone number is: ×××-××××××. 】
【7. There are no seafood stores on Ghost Street. If you encounter stray animals holding golden octopuses, you can feed them a few good luck candies. 】
【8. If you encounter an unsolvable crisis during the store opening process, please call the church security room immediately and someone will come to deal with it immediately. The church security room phone number is: ×××-××××××. 】
As long as you abide by the above rules, you and your store will not encounter unexpected dangers. I wish you a pleasant store opening experience!
Lu Yao read all the way to the end and found that there was another row of text in a slightly smaller font below - we do not force store owners to abide by all the rules, but if the store encounters unpredictable troubles during operation due to non-compliance with street rules, the store owner is also required to bear the consequences!
What kind of world is this? This is
the first time
Lu Yao has encountered a world with such complicated store opening rules. Not only is the store opening procedure cumbersome, but the eight rules that need to be followed also reveal an indescribable sense of weirdness. Lu Yao
can accept the contents of the first three, fifth, and eighth rules.
She can barely accept the fourth rule that requires store employees to submit an application.
But what the hell is the sixth rule "Occasionally there will be little ghosts on the street"?
What does the seventh rule "There are no seafood stores on the street" mean?
Without the seafood store, where would the stray animals get the golden octopus?
Lu Yao had a lot of complaints in her mind, and even thought about closing the store and running away before the store officially opened.
She already felt that this world was quite troublesome.
There was no one in the store. In the past, everyone would argue with Lu Yao, but now it was deserted, even quieter than a late night with falling snow. Lu
Yao took a deep breath and reached out to open the door again.
She read the rules carefully, and the translucent screen blocking her eyes disappeared. She tried to open the door again, and with a creak, the door that had been unable to be opened just now slowly opened.
The door was not completely open, and noisy music mixed with human voices and a dazzling and deadly green light slipped into the door along the gap in the door.
Lu Yao stood at the door, exerted force on her wrist, and completely opened the door of the store.
The red and green lights flickered and swayed, shining on her face from time to time.
The street and the buildings on both sides were covered by the night, like a huge shadow, and were wantonly peeled off by the green, rose-red, and fluorescent yellow lights, cutting into irregular shapes.
There were pedestrians, and occasionally lights fell on their faces, illuminating their mask-like faces.
The streets were covered by the night, neon lights flickered, and happiness and excitement were almost overflowing.
The new store sign that the clerk commented on as "loud color" instantly became ordinary on the ghost street, with almost no highlights.
Lu Yao hesitated for a moment, and then recalled the rules she had just read. It was not yet 8 o'clock in the evening, so going out was not considered a violation of the rules.
She turned around, closed the door, and merged into the bustling crowd like an ordinary tourist.
Nightclubs, bars, spinach shops, hot pot restaurants, barbecue stalls, cold drink shops, game halls... Lu
Yao walked along the street, and there were no shops beyond her knowledge, as if the pile of procedures before she went out just to give her a warning.
However, almost every shop was very popular, and the queue at the door was very long.
The dazzling lights, the noisy environment, and the shadowy night, Lu Yao still felt something was wrong after walking a long way, and turned around to go back.
After all, this is a strange world, and it is safer to go out and explore after dawn.
Lu Yao does not have the currency of this world, and there is no way to buy some food on the roadside.
At 22:03, Lu Yao arrived safely at the door of her own store.
Two shadows, one tall and one short, appeared on the steps. When she approached, the shadows immediately stood up.
The bright lights flashed, illuminating a resolute male face and a delicate female face.
The two actually noticed Lu Yao before she approached, and when they saw that she was really walking towards them, they also had a plan in their hearts.
Without waiting for Lu Yao to speak, the woman in black work clothes stepped forward first: "Lu Yao, the owner of Creative DIY House?"
Lu Yao put his right hand behind his back, holding the ruler of rules in his hand. He neither admitted nor denied, but only said: "Who are you?"
The woman in black: "We are staff members of the North District Street Management Office. The street received your application for residence two hours and twenty-eight minutes ago. Because you have not come to the management office to collect the map, store opening guide, communicator and lucky candy, we came here." As soon as
she finished speaking, the man next to her took off his backpack, took out a square paper box from the bag, and handed it to Lu Yao carefully.
Lu Yao did not reach out, only vigilance in his eyes.
Who would not say "outrageous" in this situation?
It was past ten o'clock in the evening. Who would go out for work?
Just to give her a newbie gift pack.
When the girl in black saw that Lu Yao didn't accept the gift, a flash of excitement flashed across her eyes. She cleared her throat and said what she had always wanted to say: "Don't worry, we are not bad people."
Lu Yao: "..."
This is the standard rhetoric of bad people.
Both sides were deadlocked.
Suddenly, the silent man in black spoke: "For new stores, it is best to go to the management office within six hours to pick up the owner's gift pack. In less than two hours, it will be closing time on the street. We also sent it here out of kindness."
Lu Yao frowned: "Why isn't this written in the store opening rules?"
The two looked at each other, a little surprised, as if Lu Yao had asked a very irrational question.
Lu Yao realized that there was something wrong with what he said just now. He walked past the two people and went straight to the door. He pushed the door open, turned on the light, and looked at the two people sideways: "Thank you for coming here. Please come in and have a drink of water."
The store is Lu Yao's safe house.
In most cases, no matter how powerful the opponent is, he cannot cause substantial harm to the owner in the store.
I don't know if these two people are acting or they are really simple-minded. They walked into the store openly after hearing what he said.
There is no furniture in the DIY hut, nor is there any tea or snacks for guests. Lu
Yao pushed the door open again and went out to the employee office on the shopping street to find a plate of snacks and poured two glasses of ice water.
Employee Office No. 1 is next to the DIY hut, and it doesn't take much time to go back and forth.
Lu Yao returned to the DIY hut with snacks and water. The two people from the street office were flattered and said a few polite words. Each of them took a bag of snacks and ate them.
The woman in black took a bag of potato wedges. She took a bite and was stunned. She took a few more bites and raised the bag to look at it: "Whose potato wedges are these? They are so delicious in Ghost Street. Why didn't I find it before?"
