174 The tenth store
◎ Huangjinxiang and Xindian. ◎
Xindian is a combination of two stores. The layout is a bit like a DIY hut. The front hall is not big, and there is a slightly larger space in the back, which is used as a back office and warehouse.
Luyao only let the system upgrade the store to a different space, renovate the walls, ceiling and floor, connect water and electricity, and temporarily put no furniture in it. Overall, it is still an empty house. The
working mode of Luyao and Yuanmeng system has returned to the previous one. When opening a new store, Luyao selects the store, and then provides decoration ideas and drawings, and Yuanmeng system is responsible for construction.
The efficiency is about the same as before, but Luyao can do other things during the system maintenance time.
Dream-Fulfilling System: "The map within a radius of 50 kilometers has been drawn. Do you want to go out and take a look?"
Lu Yao: "It's amazing that it can cover such a long range."
Dream-Fulfilling System: "After consuming the data of Qimingxing, my field of vision is indeed wider than before. In your normal words, I may have upgraded."
Lu Yao clapped his hands lightly: "Thank you for the gift from Qimingxing."
Dream-Fulfilling System: "Don't be too happy too soon. I think you didn't choose the main business of your store this time. Not making money is secondary. If there are no customers and the task cannot be completed, then it will be troublesome."
It seems that Tong's brain has also been upgraded. He no longer speaks as chatteringly as before, and his speech is even clear and organized.
Lu Yao was still a little uncomfortable to hear it worrying about him so sincerely.
Lu Yao: "Why do you think there are no customers? According to the clues, the world connected to the star gate is still the original Golden Kingdom. Even if the entire country suffered an unavoidable heavy blow in a short period of time, it has only been less than two months. There should still be people in the city, right? Didn't you say that the new store is located outside the gate of a residential community?"
Tong had never won an argument with Lu Yao, and it was still the same after the upgrade, but this time it really felt that Lu Yao had not chosen the right main business direction.
Dream Fulfillment System: "The new store is indeed located in a prosperous area of the city, next door to the Guanyin community. I think opening a supermarket in this world would be the most appropriate. The survivors need to eat, ward off the cold, and even take medicine. Countless customers will flock to it without having to think."
Lu Yao shook his head: "You are still too naive. If the 'walking corpses' on the clue note means literally, then your idea of opening a supermarket is to give others the opportunity to buy for free. If you don't believe it, let's go outside and take a look."
The clue hint was "The Kingdom of Gold" at first, and Lu Yao was still wondering what kind of store would be better to open. After the clue became "walking corpses", Lu Yao quickly finalized the main business of the new store.
She guessed that the world where the new store was located had similarities with the third store's world of impermanence, but according to clues, the Golden Kingdom might be facing a biochemical crisis.
No matter what form the end of the world takes, food, water, and daily necessities are essential for human survival.
Tongtong's idea is also correct.
It's just that Lu Yao has already opened a blind box store in the impermanence world that specializes in providing customers with various survival items. The idea of the supermarket is actually similar to that of the blind box store. In the final analysis, it is to provide supplies for the victims of the doomsday.
From Lu Yao's perspective, this type of store can quickly gain customers in a short period of time, and the cost is also very high.
Even if you can get gold as a reward in the Golden Kingdom, this gold cannot be cashed in this world.
To open a supermarket in the end of the world, large purchases and safety issues need to be carefully considered.
Even if customers buy something in the store, they may not be safe when they leave the store.
So when opening this new store, Lu Yao changed his mindset and provided services to customers instead of physical goods.
The difference between the Golden Kingdom and the Impermanence World is that the changes in this world have only been less than two months, and there should be a lot of accumulated supplies in various regions.
Combining past experience and the characteristics of the new world, Lu Yao chose running errands and express delivery as the main business for the new store, focusing on safety and efficiency.
The Dream Fulfilling System racked its brains to understand why the store owner thought of this business, but Lu Yao was full of expectations for the development of the new store.
Dream Fulfilling System: "It's okay to go out, but if you regret it, the main business of the store has been determined and cannot be changed in any way."
Lu Yao summoned the ruler of warnings, and the demon on the ruler handle spit out dozens of short and thick cylinders in the shape of screws.
These are signal receivers that Lu Yao made specifically to develop new business.
The urban infrastructure of the Golden Kingdom may have been destroyed and the network is not accessible.
In order to ensure that orders are received, Lu Yao is preparing to cover the area near the new store with a wish network.
The principle of the wish network is similar to the ghost phone system of the furry shop and the ghost bracelet system of the DIY hut. Everything is based on Lu Yao's wish.
Considering the current situation in the world, it is not realistic to deploy receivers similar to ghost bracelets on a large scale, and the cost is also very high, so Lu Yao tried to make receivers with enhanced signal functions.
As long as the signal receivers are placed around the store, and the modified computers and systems are installed in the store, customers only need to use specific props to contact Lu Yao's errand shop.
Going out at this time, just to understand the surrounding environment, is a bit of a waste of time and energy, so Lu Yao wants to install the signal receiver by the way.
The Dream Fulfilling System reminds: "I have marked the coordinates of the signal receiver on the map. You'd better change your clothes and bring a handy weapon."
Lu Yao is still wearing the dress for the dinner party in the evening, and it is indeed inconvenient to go out.
She went back to the hot spring hotel and changed into a black hooded sweatshirt, black trousers and sneakers, then went to the parking lot to pick up her electric bike and brought two short swords produced in the Floating World Continent.
Everything was ready, Lu Yao pushed open the door of the store and stood at the door looking out.
It was 1:30 in the morning on the shopping street, and it was dawn in the world where the new store was located. The sky was slightly bright, and the nearby streets and shops could be vaguely seen without lighting .
Opposite the errand shop was a small supermarket called Laojiefang Convenience Store.
The facade of the convenience store was smashed, and the empty shelves in the store could be seen across the street.
Lu Yao leaned on the door and looked left and right, but did not see what she imagined. While it was not yet completely light, she tiptoed out, stood in the corner with her back, and took out a small electric bike from her portable warehouse.
The Dream Fulfilling System initially assigned Luyao a coverage area of 10 kilometers from the errand shop. It would take a lot of walking to get there.
Luyao got on his electric bike and followed the route indicated on the system panel.
The sound of the engine was particularly clear on the silent street. In the nearby residential buildings, several window curtains were shaking. Lu
Yao was unaware of it.
Because she was unfamiliar with the road, she was afraid of taking the wrong road, so she nervously checked the map.
The Dream-Fulfilling System discovered that Lu Yao was afraid of the zombies wandering around. When it scanned certain sections of the road where zombies were wandering, it reminded her to change the route in advance.
Lu Yao placed four signal receivers along the way. When the sun rose, almost all the shops along the way were smashed, and the inside and outside of the shops were in a mess.
Even though the dream-fulfilling system had deliberately told Lu Yao to avoid roads infested with zombies, after daybreak, without the cover of darkness, the rotting corpses on the roadside gave off a foul stench, and unknown giant birds hovered around, occasionally dropping down to tear at the rotten meat.
A small crow mixed in among them, took the opportunity to snatch a piece of rotten meat, ran away quickly with it in its mouth, and pulled out a string of stinking intestines from the rotten meat, dragging them on the ground, oozing out smelly pus. Lu Yao
stopped halfway. The strong visual impact and strong smell almost made her vomit. She supported herself on the ground with both feet, held the front of the bike with one hand, and reached into her pocket with her free hand, which was actually her portable storage, and took out a mask and put it on quickly.
Ordinary masks cannot completely block out the smell. Lu Yao turned the handlebars and increased the horsepower, just wanting to leave this suffocating street as soon as possible.
The Dream-Fulfilling System was very puzzled: "You have always been very courageous, and you have seen disgusting things before. Why are you so scared this time?" Lu
Yao held her breath, paid attention to the situation around her, and had to distract herself to talk to the Dream-Fulfilling System: "I am not afraid of strange aliens, but sometimes I am afraid of my own kind."
The Dream-Fulfilling System still couldn't understand.
In this environment, Lu Yao just wanted to finish the placement of the signal receivers as quickly as possible, and she really didn't have the energy to explain the Yuanmeng system in detail.
Lu Yao placed signal receivers in three more places, and there were still five. After running dozens of kilometers, she was worried that the electric car was not powerful enough, so she decided to return to the store first.
On the way back, Lu Yao felt a little relieved.
As a result, at a street corner only 500 meters away from the Guanyin community where the errand shop was located, Lu Yao encountered a group of zombies and a living person.
The woman with a black backpack hid in the coffee shop at the corner of the street, leaning against the half-smashed glass sliding door.
The group of zombies surrounded the outside, constantly stretching out their bony arms to slap the shaking door.
The sound of the electric car attracted the attention of some zombies. The woman hiding in the door also saw Lu Yao, and a complex light burst out from her desperate eyes.
Lu Yao breathed heavily, but did not get off the car or leave.
Dream-fulfilling system: "Save her?"
Lu Yao: "We'll be home soon, I don't want to fight."
Dream-fulfilling system seemed to have figured it out, and helped Lu Yao prepare psychologically: "Those people can still stand up and walk, but they have no vital signs. They are just a bunch of walking rotten meat. You don't need to have any psychological burden at all. Just like last time when you beat up the celebrity, beat them hard, otherwise the woman will die." Lu Yao
took out a short sword, without taking off the scabbard, and knocked on the metal fence on the roadside. The harsh sound instantly attracted the zombies in front of the coffee shop.
The group of zombies slowly turned around and began to move towards the middle of the road.
Lu Yao knocked his hands and made a "come out" gesture to the woman trapped in the store.
When the zombies were about to surround him, Lu Yao put away his dagger and started the car. The wind whistled in his ears, and the slow-moving zombies were left behind.
The woman who ran out of the coffee shop ran hard along the road, stumbling and almost falling several times. Lu Yao
chased her and stopped in front of her: "Where are you going? I'll take you there."
The woman stopped, bent down slightly, put one hand behind her to protect her backpack, and looked alert: "Thank you. But no need, my companions are waiting for me at the bridge."
She was not young, but not old either. She
looked to be about thirty years old, with messy hair, wearing an inconspicuous gray casual suit, and her white sneakers were full of dirt.
She maintained a vigilant posture, tense, with tears in her eyes, as if she would burst into tears if Lu Yao took another step forward.
Lu Yao nodded and took out a newly made sample of props for the errand shop - a business card from his pocket.
Because it was a sample, the style was relatively simple, but the effect was not discounted.
Lu Yao raised the business card and pointed forward: "My name is Lu Yao, and I opened an errand shop outside the Guanyin community not far ahead. If you need anything, you can use this business card to contact us."
The woman's eyes widened slightly, and a strange look appeared on her face.
It was indeed strange to open a shop in this place at this time.
The store's business scope and business card usage rules were fully printed on the back of the business card, so Lu Yao did not explain, but only said: "The store is still under renovation, and it is estimated that it will be open for normal business in three days at the earliest. Before normal business, it will be considered a trial business service, so you can use this business card at any time."
Lu Yao bent down and put the business card on the side of the road, rode away on his electric bike, walked for a while and stopped again, turned around and found that the man was in a daze, raised his voice to remind: "They are catching up." The
woman looked back, then ran away, ran a few steps, hurriedly turned back, bent down to pick up the card that Lu Yao had placed on the side of the road, turned around and ran again.
