146 The Ninth Shop
◎The essence of Ghost Street.◎
The mutant just now was decisively dealt with by the dream fulfillment system and disappeared.
After not seeing each other for a few months, Xun Tuo began to grow up and have methods. Lu Yao
suddenly realized that the system would also grow.
The door of the meditation room had been destroyed, and the strange noises in the room stopped. After a few minutes, the security guard outside the door tiptoed towards the door. Lu Yao
walked out of the door and said to Qin Qiuming: "This room is no longer useful."
Qin Qiuming's shoulders slumped, and his disappointment was beyond words.
After several years of despair, the glimmer of hope that he saw was finally shattered.
Lu Yao's mind was a little confused. Now that the work was done, it was not so important for the moment whether Jiang Lin was willing to go to the DIY shop. She nodded to Qin Qiuming and said, "I will go back today."
The security guards in the corridor had seen the situation in the meditation room and confirmed that the divine descent had ended. They rushed in to rescue people.
Xu Zhengrong, Ren You and Du Xiao lay on the floor, coughing and vomiting. They were wrapped in the tentacles of the octopus and almost suffocated.
In the crowd, a tall and thin man got up from the ground and ran towards the door in a hurry. Seeing Lu Yao in the corridor, he called out to him, "Your name is Lu Yao?"
Lu Yao turned around. The tall and thin man was wearing a white coat stained with mucus, and his exposed trousers and shirt were also stained with dirt. He looked savage but not disguising his temperament.
He seemed to be in the meditation room just now, but he was not wearing security uniform and he did not look like a mutant.
The tall and thin man walked up to Lu Yao and said, "My name is Pei Qi, the gatekeeper of the meditation room. Now that the meditation room has disappeared, I want to go with you."
It turned out that this man was the gatekeeper.
Pei Qi's temperament was too weak, and Lu Yao initially thought that he was a researcher from somewhere.
But this man was also a bit strange, he came up and wanted to go with her, and he even knew her name. Lu Yao
looked Pei Qi up and down: "Reason?"
Pei Qi raised his hand and pushed the frame on his nose, with a slightly restrained gleam in his pupils: "I was guarding the door here before, and the meditation room has disappeared. I have no obligation or need to stay. If you need someone, I want to go with you."
Qin Qiu Ming was surprised.
Lu Yao stared at Pei Qi for a while and said, "Okay, let's go."
The guy hadn't finished speaking yet, just like throwing bait, waiting for Lu Yao to take the bait.
Lu Yao was too lazy to think about it, so he took the man to the DIY hut first.
Pei Qi didn't expect the owner to be so decisive, and was stunned for a moment before he followed.
Qin Qiu Ming recovered from the shock and quickly chased after them, wanting to stop the two of them, but he ran into Jiang Lin and the patrol team coming back together.
Lu Yao called Jiang Lin: "You stay in the security room, where is Xiao Cai?"
Jiang Lin had just come back from the street, sweating profusely, and was somewhat surprised to meet Lu Yao here. After hearing her question, he was silent for a few seconds before answering: "She went back to the North District."
The security room rarely accepts female employees, and Cai Yuxing did not show any symptoms of alienation, so it was not suitable for her to stay in the church.
Lu Yao nodded: "Give me Xiao Cai's address, I will go to see her when I have time."
After Jiang Lin woke up, his memory of the alienation period became quite vague, but when he saw Lu Yao, he subconsciously touched the round bead bracelet on his wrist. He was completely unguarded against her and obediently told Cai Yuxing's residential address in the North District.
Lu Yao wrote it down and walked out with Pei Qi.
Qin Qiu Ming finally caught up, but instead of calling Lu Yao, he spoke to Pei Qi behind her: "Are you really leaving?"
Pei Qi turned around and looked at Qin Qiu Ming: "The meditation chamber is no longer useful, and there is no point for me to stay here."
Qin Qiu Ming was speechless.
Pei Qi was the man who appeared on the same day as the meditation chamber. He knew more about Ghost Street than the church staff, and he was the first to suggest sending the mutants to the meditation chamber for observation.
The church's top management paid more and more attention to Pei Qi's opinions on the treatment of mutants, but he suddenly wanted to leave.
In addition, the disappearance of the meditation chamber was also a big loss.
Pei Qi ignored Qin Qiu Ming, turned around and caught up with Lu Yao, observing the expression of the young girl next to him with his peripheral vision. She had a calm look and a stable mood, and she didn't seem to want to take the initiative to talk.
After walking through the long atrium and exiting the main entrance of the church, Pei Qi took the initiative to say, "Go that way. It's getting late. I'll drive you back." Lu Yao
did not refuse.
The patrol cars in the security room are all off-road motorcycles. Pei Qi's silver-gray car is placed in the corner and cannot be found without careful observation.
Lu Yao sat in the passenger seat: "Your car is different from theirs."
Pei Qi: "I'm not a security guard."
Pei Qi started the car, drove onto the road, and drove in the opposite direction of Lu Yao.
Lu Yao: "...Did you go in the wrong direction?"
Pei Qi held the steering wheel and glanced at Lu Yao from the corner of his eye: "You have a good sense of direction."
Lu Yao did not answer.
Pei Qi: "This is a road that avoids the purification ray belt. It's slower, but safer."
Lu Yao: "Doesn't the purification ray belt reduce the chance of getting lost?"
From the name, it sounds like some kind of ray with a cleansing function.
Pei Qi took out half a pack of cigarettes from his half-dry pocket with one hand, opened the cigarette box, lowered his head and picked up one: "I want to smoke a cigarette, do you mind?"
Lu Yao shook his head: "Mind, let's talk about it after we get off the car."
Pei Qi said nothing and silently put away the cigarette box.
At 9:30 in the evening, Lu Yao returned to the bustling North District streets again.
There were many people at the intersection, and the car had difficulty moving, so Lu Yao got off the car directly at the intersection.
Pei Qi seemed to be very familiar with Ghost Street, and told Lu Yao not to worry about him, and he would come to find her after parking the car.
After the DIY hut officially opened, the sign at the door still flashed even when no one was in the store, as if it had perfectly blended into this strange and bustling street.
There were two people sitting on the steps at the door of the store. Lu Yao saw them and quickened his pace.
At the door, Liu Jing and Cai Yuxing stood up and also saw Lu Yao.
Lu Yao: "Why are you here at this time?"
Liu Jing looked at Lu Yao and said, "Nothing happened in the store today, right?"
Lu Yao: "What do you mean?"
Liu Jing looked around, pushed Lu Yao and said, "Let's talk in the store."
Lu Yao opened the door and welcomed the two people in.
The store was empty, Liu Jing patted his chest and felt a little relieved: "Where are the employees?"
Lu Yao poured water for the two people: "They are off work."
Liu Jing couldn't help but be surprised: "Nothing happened in the store?" Lu
Yao shook his head: "A little thing happened at noon, and it has been properly resolved."
Liu Jing was stunned for a moment, and gradually let go: "I'm not surprised no matter what you say."
Lu Yao's eyes wandered over the two people : "How did you two get together?"
Cai Yuxing: "Sister Jing's current residence is only one building away from mine. We met downstairs when we went out in the afternoon, so we went out for a walk together. Sister Jing wanted to take a look at the DIY hut, and we saw the recruitment information posted on the door."
Before closing the shop in the afternoon, Lu Yao did post a new recruitment advertisement on the door, but it was not for recruiting store clerks, but volunteers.
This was the solution Lu Yao came up with, looking for suitable store clerks in the name of recruiting volunteers, without having to go to the street committee office building to recruit store clerks, and it could solve the problem of insufficient staff in the store.
Lu Yao: "Is that so. Do you want to give it a try?"
Liu Jing asked without thinking: "Can we?"
Cai Yuxing also looked at Lu Yao, with some uncertainty in his eyes.
Lu Yao: "In theory, volunteers and regular employees are different. However, if you are willing to come to the store to help, the salary and allowance are not much different from those of regular employees."
Volunteers do not receive a salary, only a financial subsidy.
Generally speaking, this kind of money is very little.
Lu Yao's original intention was to recruit normal employees, but he cleverly used the name of "volunteers" to circumvent the rules of Ghost Street. In fact, the treatment given to volunteers is the same as that of regular employees.
Liu Jing was very tempted. After leaving the Street Management Office, she no longer had a job arrangement. She was not used to it and was afraid that she would wander around aimlessly on this street and get lost again.
Cai Yuxing was the first to say, "I want to come. But I've never worked before." Lu Yao
said, "It's not difficult. There will be training before you start working."
When Liu Jing came to her senses, she heard that Cai Yuxing had already agreed with Lu Yao, and she couldn't wait any longer, "I want to come, too."
"You shouldn't be here." A voice came from the door.
The three girls turned their heads.
Pei Qi walked in from the door, glanced at Liu Jing and Cai Yuxing, and his eyes fell on Lu Yao: "'Ordinary people cannot become shop assistants' is the rule of this street. Once it is broken, He will be angry."
Lu Yao spread his hands: "They are not shop assistants, just volunteers."
Pei Qi: "I heard that you have already gone to the street committee building to apply for shop assistants, so ordinary people and formal shop assistants cannot be put together."
Lu Yao stared at Pei Qi for a while: "Is there a possibility that this is my shop."
Pei Qi closed the door casually, but he was not angry: "Don't think I care too much. I do know more about this street than you and these ordinary people. He is still very naive now. You think you have caught the loophole in the rules, but no one can bear the consequences of angering Him."
Lu Yao looked at Pei Qi deeply . , and then turned his head to look at Liu Jing and Cai Yuxing: "What do you two think?"
Cai Yuxing stepped forward and held Lu Yao's hand: "I want to go to work. No matter what, I won't regret it."
Liu Jing was silent for a while, raised her hand and said: "I want to go to work too."
Lu Yao turned around and looked at Pei Qi: "What about you?"
Pei Qi: "...I want to go to work too." Lu
Yao turned around and walked to the operation classroom next door: "Time is a bit tight, tonight Do the training first, and try to start work officially tomorrow."
In the No. 1 operating classroom, Lu Yao took out the Qiankun bag from his portable storage, and then took out the Sumi mustard seed from the Qiankun bag: "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."
Pei Qi, Liu Jing, and Cai Yuxing did not understand the owner's operation at all, and they did not think it was strange to see her take out the Qiankun bag out of thin air, until they followed Lu Yao into the mustard seed space, and then the expressions of the three people gradually got out of control.
Cai Yuxing: "This is not the operation classroom just now."
Liu Jing reached out and touched the cubicle left over from the last overtime work of the game team, her eyes a little red: "These are real tables and chairs."
Pei Qi was also observing this strange space, blinked quickly a few times, grabbed Lu Yao and asked: "We are in the seed you just took out? Who are you?"
Lu Yao shook his head without answering, walked to the modified refrigerator and took out a few bottles of water, and took some fruits and cakes, walked to the sofa in the rest area and sat down, greeting them: "This space is absolutely safe and private, take a rest first, and then continue the training."
Liu Jing and Cai Yuxing's reactions were not as strong as Pei Qi's, and because of their previous experience in the store, they trusted the owner very much.
Pei Qi stood aside stiffly, and did not speak again until the three of them had eaten and rested, and began the formal training.
The content of the training was related to tomorrow's activities. Lu Yao had a preliminary understanding of the two new female volunteers, and she was more confident in them than the three formal store employees.
Lu Yao hoped that through tonight's training, they would be able to instruct customers, so that they could maximize the use of all the resources currently available in the store and attract as many customers as possible.
Liu Jing has been working, and her work ability is slightly better than Cai Yuxing.
However, after repeated practice, both of them became familiar with the basic work flow of the DIY hut within the expected time.
Relatively speaking, Pei Qi's hands-on ability is a mess.
To be precise, he is a terrible kitchen killer.
Lu Yao quickly kicked him out of the list of instructors for tomorrow and arranged for him to work with Huang Qi at the front desk.
After the training, Lu Yao led three reserve volunteers out of the Sumire Mustard Seed. It was not yet closing time on Ghost Street.
Liu Jing glanced at the watch on her wrist and said in disbelief: "Why is it not yet ten o'clock?"
Cai Yuxing approached in surprise: "How is it possible? Is your watch broken?"
Liu Jing frowned: "It shouldn't be, the dial is running normally."
Lu Yao casually threw the seeds in his hand and said, "You should know about the meditation room in the church. I also have a similar special space. But the ability of this space is different from that of the meditation room. It's what you see in front of you."
Liu Jing and Cai Yuxing widened their eyes, trying to digest the owner's words.
Lu Yao did not continue to explain and asked about another important matter: "Can you two go home at this time?"
Liu Jing came to her senses: "Yes, yes, it's time to go back."
Before the two girls left, Lu Yao stopped them and gave each of them a pendant: "If you feel uneasy walking at night, just hold it."
Cai Yuxing took it, looked at it, and was a little surprised: "Is this a miniature version of your weapon?"
Lu Yao: "Strictly speaking, it is a part of the ruler of discipline. It is useless. Just use it as a talisman."
Liu Jing and Cai Yuxing had seen the ruler and the power it displayed in Lu Yao's hand. They held the miniature ruler tightly in their hands, said goodbye to Lu Yao with an almost servile smile, and left together.
When there were only two people left in the store, Lu Yao glanced at Pei Qi: "Where are you staying tonight?"
Pei Qi pointed at Lu Yao's hand: "Let's go to that space to talk."
Lu Yao had already seen that this man had something to say, so he closed the store door again, and went back to the operation classroom with Pei Qi and entered the mustard seed space again.
Compared with the last time he came in, Pei Qi was much more relaxed, walking around the small mustard seed space: "This space is definitely not the technology of this era, but the items in the space are very old." Lu
Yao did not respond.
Pei Qi finally saw enough of the details of the space, walked to Lu Yao and sat down: "You are not from this world."
Lu Yao lowered his eyes and did not comment.
Pei Qi suppressed his inner doubts and excitement, and said restrainedly: "You don't know the nature of this street either."
Lu Yao raised his head, leaned over to pick up the water cup on the table, and shook it gently: "You don't seem to be very good at dealing with people."
Pei Qi stared: "Huh?" Lu
Yao: "This kind of cliché is very old-fashioned."
Pei Qi: "..." Lu Yao
put down the water cup and leaned back on the sofa: "Isn't the essence of Ghost Street just a holographic game community with flawed technical development?"
[Author's words]
Eryang.
After hanging the water, I felt that the speed of fever last night was a bit too fast. I took a test with a test kit, and it was indeed two bars. In my family, we almost don't wear masks when we go out. I went to a crowded place a few days ago for something, and I may have been exposed.
Babies should still pay attention when going out, wear masks and take necessary protection.
I still need to hang the water for a few days. I will write when I am in a good condition. I will write more when I write. I feel very uncomfortable so I lie down.
