156 ? The ninth store

156 The Ninth Store

◎Maybe we are the bug.◎

There was a long queue at the door of the DIY hut. Customers waiting to buy the ghost bracelet overflowed from the lobby and stretched out along both ends of the street, at least more than a hundred meters.

There were still a few customers who knew the news in advance and found Luyao to place orders. Most people only knew about the ghost bracelet after seeing the advertisement in the morning. In fact, they didn’t want to buy it as soon as they saw the advertisement. After all, a bracelet is 660,000, which is ridiculously expensive.

Generally, one person out of three or five people may be more impulsive. They don’t necessarily have to buy it, but they want to go to the store to see the real thing.

When customers with different purposes rushed to the North District from different neighborhoods, they found that the street was crowded with people. They finally found the No. 13 store. The long queue at the door was despairing.

"No, so many people?"

"Are they agents?"

"Look at those people in patrol uniforms, are they agents too?"

"I think I saw those managers from the East District Street Management Office who are often on duty, standing behind them."

"Is this thing really that good?"

A TV-sized screen has been added to the door of the DIY hut, playing ads for the Ghost Bracelet in a loop.

Watching the ads while waiting in line, you really can't help but want to buy one to try. When

customers get the Ghost Bracelet, they can open the box and activate it on the spot. If they don't understand something, they can ask the clerk.

Compared to the pre-release version of the bracelet, the official version has some hidden functional upgrades and appearance upgrades.

The middle point of the "remote" mark in the internal test of the bracelet has been upgraded to a hidden switch. Press the groove lightly, and the bracelet will change its shape and become a watch with a screen. The watch has a camera that can take photos and videos, and can also make video calls with friends on the list.

This hidden function is not presented in advertisements or written in the instructions. Instead, it exists in the bracelet in the form of electronic data. The bracelet user can see it as long as he opens the data center.

In addition, the bracelet has added a "mall" function. Every six hours, the mysterious mall will appear once and exist for 20 minutes.

The mall sells various materials that support handmade DIY. Most materials can be purchased with ghost coins, and some materials need to be exchanged with willpower points.

The mall also has a tool rental function. Customers can search and select the tools they need in the tool rental area.

Even if the mall is closed while customers are using the tools, it doesn’t matter. Customers can return the tools the next time the mall appears.

The tools are equipped with automatic timers, and the mall will charge fees according to the usage time recorded on the timer.

In addition, the mall occasionally sells some relatively rare consumable items, such as physical recovery potions and willpower replenishment potions.

It’s just that the prices are a bit biting, which makes people discouraged.

Song Wen ordered a bracelet for Grandma Xu. He came earlier, and there were not many people in the store at that time. After getting the bracelet, he took Grandma to the mobile classroom.

Grandma Xu is old, and she needs Song Wen’s help to activate and bind it.

Song Wen helped grandma put on the bracelet and taught her how to operate the binding battle system.

Grandma Xu signed the contract smoothly, but the system prompted that the scheduled time for the wish box to be picked up was 24 hours later.

Grandma Xu saw that her grandson's face was a little solemn, "What's wrong? Am I too old to get it?"

Song Wen shook his head: "No, it's just that I only needed five minutes that day, and you have to wait a day and a night. The bracelet system seems to have been adjusted."

Grandma Xu didn't understand all this, and only asked: "Can it be used?"

Song Wen: "Yes."

The hall was crowded, and customers who received the goods came to the mobile classroom to activate the bracelets.

In less than two hours, the stock of three hundred bracelets in the three automatic pickup machines was sold out, and there was a long line outside the door.

On the first day when the Ghost Bracelet was officially launched on Ghost Street, most customers were still skeptical about the function of this product. Those who didn't buy it didn't feel sorry and left quickly.

After most people left, only customers who came to experience daily activities and users who studied the Ghost Bracelet were left in the store. The three operation classrooms were operating normally. Mobile classroom No. 1 was full, and Lu Yao opened mobile classroom No. 2.

Mobile classroom No. 2 was also full in an instant. Ji Linkai and Gan Ying were responsible for taking care of the people in the two mobile classrooms.

Gan Ying and Chen You had their consciousness scanned again in the morning. Gan Ying's consciousness was judged to be yellow, and Chen You was already tending to normal.

After leaving the state of a little ghost, Chen You is a quiet and introverted girl who doesn't like to talk much, but has a lot of thoughts in private.

She is the kind of person who is used to suppressing her emotions and does not affect the people around her. Perhaps it is due to her nature. When she was mutated, she was a person and no one noticed. The direction of her mutation also tended to be a little ghost without any aggression.

But on the day she returned to normal, Lu Yao saw it at a glance and suggested that she and Gan Ying do another consciousness scan.

After confirming that Chen You's consciousness had been restored, Lu Yao took out a bracelet and gave it to her.

However, because the ghost bracelet was officially launched, customers flocked in, and Chen You didn't have time to activate her bracelet.

Gan Ying became the only clerk in the DIY hut who did not have the latest equipment, and he was somewhat embarrassed to face the inquiries of customers.

He wandered around the mobile classroom twice and found nothing to do, so he simply leaned against the wall of the aisle outside the door, with all kinds of thoughts popping up in his mind.

Why can't he have a bracelet?

The owner is biased.

On the shopping street, Song Qingshan, He Bi and Zhang Shu were busy working in the main server room.

Before officially taking up their posts, they received two weeks of training in Sumi Mustard Seed and relearned the knowledge related to holographic technology.

However, the main server located in the shopping street is actually just a companion program of the ghost bracelet, and the program operation itself is still the one they are familiar with.

When more than two hundred and nearly three hundred users almost instantly flooded into the server, the three were still a little flustered.

As long as they thought that the other end of the server was connected to a virtual game world, it was hard for them to remain calm.

Zhang Shu: "If Ghost Street returns to normal one day, maybe we can go in and take a look."

Song Qingshan: "In the operating program of Ghost Street, maybe we are the bug."

He Bi: "Listening to the store owner's description of his observations on Ghost Street, the appearance of the Ghost Bracelet will definitely disrupt the balance of the game world."

Zhang Shu: "That's interesting. If I were a user of this game, the previous rules were too ridiculous and not playable at all. The appearance of the ghost bracelet is simply saving the world."

He Bi: "I also think this is interesting. As prey, humans get hunting guns, the positions of prey and hunter may be reversed immediately."

Song Qingshan: "I wonder what the true form of the so-called gods is?"

Zhang Shu: "I'm curious too!"

...

Zhang Shu sorted out the information of all users who logged into the server that day and sent it directly to Lu Yao through the intranet.

In the afternoon, the DIY hut was open for business as usual. The staff carried out their daily work in an orderly manner. Lu Yao spent the whole afternoon making wish boxes in the lounge, and he had not finished making them when the store closed in the evening.

Lu Yao originally planned to take the unfinished work back to the hot spring hotel. When he came out of the DIY room, he saw Harold standing at the door of the nail salon with his arms folded, his face dark and he looked angry.

Lu Yao turned around and walked towards Harold: "What's the matter?"

Harold was taller than Lu Yao, and in recent months he seemed to be growing taller, almost a head taller than Lu Yao.

He stood under the eaves, his arms folded in front of his chest, looking down: "The fat seal over there can make things to cheat people, you don't even remember us."

Lu Yao: "Ah? What?"

Harold was too lazy to talk to Lu Yao, so he grabbed her and dragged her to the nail salon.

After stepping through the threshold, the lobby of the nail salon is more than three times larger than it was a year ago. The decoration and furnishings of the store gradually have the shadow of the alien staff. Colorful rare gems are inlaid on the doorposts like colored glass, and the floor is covered with a complete piece of century-old monster deer skin. The mini potted plants around the table are the hide-and-seek venue set up by Merulu and Pushu.

The alien staff's novelty of nail art production has long passed. Usually after work, most of them will do what they are interested in, but tonight is just like a night before. Everyone sits in the lobby in a row, silently staring at Lu Yao walking in.

Lu Yao walked to the sofa in the middle and sat down: "What's the matter? Why don't you go back to the dormitory?"

Ambrose: "We saw in the group that the fat seals who couldn't speak had something important to do."

Tina: "The fat guys' paws were all swollen."

Clarissa: "Go to the Internet cafe to shoot an advertisement."

Merulu: "Xiong An'an and Qiuyu both have toys."

Pu Xiu: "The little piglet and the little ginseng also have toys."

Si Jin: "Only we have nothing, but loyalty."

The nail salon has been open for a year. No matter how novel the things are, they are repeated many times every day. When you have played enough tricks, they will gradually become commonplace.

It's just that Lu Yao's nail salon is the first nail salon in Alexandria. Even though some small nail salons have appeared in different cities recently, it is almost difficult to surpass Lu Yao's store in terms of aesthetics, design, and customer base.

There are no real competitors, and it is difficult for the employees to generate new passion for their work, but almost all of them have one idea - to take care of Lu Yao until he grows old.

This is the important reason why they are willing to stay in the store.

In Si Jin's view, this is his loyalty and obedience.

No contract is required.

Mumu: "Jiji."

Edward covered his eyes sadly: "I am old and can't keep up with the times. No one wants me to screw in screws in the factory."

Lu Yao is also very familiar with this set of procedures. The last time this kind of battle was when they wanted a mobile phone, and judging from Edward's tone, he has been surfing the Internet a lot during this period.

Lu Yao pondered for a while and asked slowly: "So...you want to help me make bracelets?"

Harold: "The new store is so interesting, but you didn't tell us anything."

Lu Yao said honestly: "Didn't you tell us to get the materials two days ago?"

Harold was speechless.

Ambrose: "How is getting some materials a help? I want to do something challenging."

Harold nodded repeatedly: "That's what I mean."

Making bracelets is challenging?

Lu Yao said that he didn't really understand this group of shop assistants who had money and free time and liked to take the initiative to do the work.

Lu Yao's heart suddenly moved: "This reminds me. There is something that only you may be able to do."

The shop assistant who was holding the shelf steadily just now glanced over.

The next morning, users who bought and activated the Ghost Bracelet on Ghost Street received their own wish boxes one after another.

Song Wen and Grandma Xu moved out of their original residence and recently rented a two-bedroom apartment in the North District.

Song Wen got up and asked Grandma if she had received the wish box.

Grandma Xu clumsily opened the battle system on the bracelet and smiled shyly: "See, I don't quite understand."

"Xu Xiumei obtained the battle system·fairy blessing."

"Ability: Fairy blessing. Current level: 1." "

Ability description: The ability holder obtains the blessing of the twin fairies Merulu and Pushu, and obtains fairy wings and brewing skills. The wish honey wine brewed by the ability holder can purify mutants below level three on Ghost Street. The purification index of the wish honey wine increases with the skill proficiency level of the ability holder."

Song Wen lowered his head to read the skill description, then looked up at his grandmother with a sympathetic expression, and really didn't know how to explain it.

"Grandma, your combat system seems to be related to brewing, but there is a 'fairy wings' that is not explained in detail. Let's go to the store to ask."

Song Wen and his grandmother packed up and went out. There were more people on the North District Street than yesterday. Judging from the direction, it seemed that they were the customers queuing from the No. 13 store.

The people waiting in line were a little different from yesterday. Song Wen saw that someone kept looking forward and asked repeatedly: "Why does it feel like there is no movement? Will it be impossible to buy it today?"

Song Wen felt a little strange, patted a person on the shoulder, and whispered: "Why are there so many people today?"

The man looked down and saw that Song Wen and Grandma Xu both had bracelets on their wrists, and his eyes were full of envy: "I regret it so much. If I had come earlier yesterday, I might have bought it too."

The guest standing in front of this brother looked back and couldn't help but say: "A level nine mutant appeared in the East District this morning and climbed out of a residential building. His head was almost as big as a car. People in the building and on the street were desperate and couldn't escape at all. Someone bought a bracelet yesterday and got the wish box this morning. He didn't know how to operate it and randomly summoned a giant dragon with a pitch-black body. The dragon bit the alien's big head in one bite, and the alien's outer clothes turned into foam, revealing a person underneath. That person was so lucky, it is said that he received a gift from the dragon clan from the wish box."

"This bracelet can save my life. Let alone more than 600,000, I would buy it even if it was 6 million!"
