192 The Tenth Store
◎I don’t mind, as long as you are not afraid. ◎
Lu Mingxiao: "The person who gave you this flyer."
Xie Yu took a towel and immediately turned around and walked over: "Instructor, do you know them?"
Lu Mingxiao leaned back slightly in his chair, did not answer, and asked coldly: "What happened to you in Gaosheng City?"
Xie Yu was surprised. If the instructor knew Tina and Lu Yao, he might be able to convince them to come to Hope Base. He sat down and said: "We didn't encounter any problems on the way there. It was smooth all the way. We encountered a little problem after arriving at the supply point. There was a white spider as big as a real person lurking at the supply point, and it was covered with white spider webs. But we didn't notice it when we went in, and we couldn't find the exit when we were ready to leave."
Speaking of this, Xie Yu remembered that if he hadn't met Tina and Lu Yao, They might still be trapped at that supply point.
He still didn't understand why the escalator disappeared and why the spider zombies were lurking there. Thinking back, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Tina was amazing.
Before leaving, he observed the giant white cocoons hanging from the ceiling. According to the spider's eating habits, those elliptical cocoons should be filled with its reserve food, and they have become "sucking music" for the spider zombies to use at any time.
Lu Mingxiao had no interest in these things, but he didn't interrupt.
Lu Yao did not show up at the scheduled time, and the world suddenly underwent unexpected changes. He investigated the reason and decided to wait for her arrival at the base.
But she didn't show up at the scheduled location, and Lu Mingxiao knew that the connection between them was slowly weakening.
Lu Mingxiao listened to Xie Yu's story of what happened on the road with great patience, and Xie Yu's focus was all on Tina.
He repeatedly described how amazing the qualifications of the red curly-haired girl were, how she smashed the suddenly appearing alien zombie with one punch, and kicked the huge spider ten meters away with one kick.
Lu Mingxiao raised his hand impatiently and pinched his brows lightly, and endured for a few seconds, He was really impatient and asked, "Who else is with the red-haired girl?"
Xie Yu glanced at the earring on Lu Mingxiao's right ear, "There is also a short-haired girl wearing exaggerated earrings and a chestnut-haired boy with a pair of tear moles under his eyes. The boy is nothing special, and the short-haired girl may be an engineer. They opened a store specializing in running errands, and they can actually communicate using a communicator. We invited them Come to the base to develop together, but unfortunately I was rejected. "
Lu Mingxiao got the information he wanted to know, stood up and walked to the door: "You've worked hard, have a good rest."
Xie Yu always felt that the instructor's expression was a little unclear, so he chased him and asked: "Instructor, do you know them?"
Lu Mingxiao said without turning his head: "No. Rest."
The sound of the door opening and closing came from next door. An Xia stood up and frowned in thought.
The instructor just said to Xie Yu, "You met her."
Did he know Lu Yao? Or Tina?
After a few minutes, An Xia's brows loosened, and then wrinkled tighter and tighter.
Instructor Lu knew Lu Yao.
The next day, An Xia woke up to the sound of flushing. The dormitory was not soundproof enough, and she could hear the sound of people washing their faces and going to the toilet next door.
An Xia glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside, and it was only a little after seven o'clock. She immediately fell back on the bed and prepared to continue sleeping.
They came back in the early morning last night, bringing back a large amount of supplies, successfully completing the mission, and could rest for two or three days before going out on another mission.
An Xia fell asleep again, and vaguely heard the sound of the door opening, and Xie Yu was talking to a team member.
"I just met the instructor. He was asking for leave from the director, saying that he had to go to Gaosheng City for some personal matters."
Xie Yu: "Is the instructor going to Gaosheng City alone?"
Team member: "The director didn't let us. He said that since we are going to Gaosheng City, we might as well take a team to go to the shopping mall we went to yesterday."
Xie Yu frowned: "Which team did the director ask to go?"
Team member: "It seems to be Team 7."
Xie Yu said: "Go and call Captain An, we will go too."
The team member looked bitter and even regretted telling Xie Yu the news: "But we just came back and only slept for a few hours. We haven't rested yet."
Xie Yu: "When the supplies are emptied by Team 7 and all the rations are taken up by them, you won't want to be lazy."
The Hope Base was built quickly after the outbreak of the zombie virus. In order to attract more people to come, they have a relatively complete welfare system.
Such conditions are entirely supported by the search teams. Hope Base currently has nearly 30 search teams, which take turns to go out to find supply points and collect supplies.
In contrast, members of the search team can obtain living conditions that are several times more favorable than ordinary people, including relatively complete living conditions and the best food supplies.
However, these conditions are also linked to the "performance" of the team. Fifteen days is a probation period. The more supplies collected by the team, the richer the living rations of the team members.
The supply point in Gaosheng City was found by An Xia's team. They stepped on the point several times and lost a team member. It would be too uneconomical to let other teams pick the fruits.
Hearing this, An Xia's sleepiness instantly dissipated and she stood up and sat up.
Xie Yu was right. Team Seven couldn't be allowed to pick the fruits.
With the instructor accompanying them, they were not afraid of encountering bad situations on the road.
Ten minutes later, An Xia and Xie Yu went to the director's office together, and took the initiative to apply to go with Lu Mingxiao and the seventh team to Gaosheng City again.
-------
Gaosheng City, Guanyin Road.
As soon as the errand team opened the door, the system received four errands.
The nearest one was in Guanyin Community, and there were also two orders in Jin Taiyuyuan.
The four little dragons didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and hurried out with bread and milk to run errands.
The order opening situation in the morning has already reflected the effect of the previous two days of sweeping the house. Lu Yao considered that Zhaoye had the help of the sparrow brother and the efficiency of sweeping the house was the highest, so he arranged him to distribute flyers in the nearby community.
After two days of sweeping the house and running errands, Lu Yao found that just handing out flyers could not increase the number of orders.
Even if customers learn about the errand shop through flyers and want to place an order, there is no way to contact the store immediately. They must have the store's business card to place an order, and to do this, they have to go to the store in person to buy a business card.
Going out in a zombie-infested city is a challenge in itself, and it takes a lot of courage for customers who live far away to come to the errand shop.
For this reason, Lu Yao asked the Dream Fulfilling System to reprint a batch of flyers overnight. The paper used for the new flyers came from the Floating World Continent.
This kind of paper is a special paper used by cultivators to record magic. Several kinds of spiritual plants are added to the pulp, making it soft and impervious to water and fire.
Lu Yao attached a thin layer of wish power to the surface of the paper, making the flyer have a function similar to that of a business card.
If a customer wants to place an order, he can fill in the address and order quantity in the empty order column at the end of the flyer.
Within the coverage of the Wish Network, this order will be read by the errand system, and the store clerk will be arranged to deliver the goods to the door in real time.
The cost of the new flyer has increased. Lu Yao distinguished this order from the errand order, doubled the fee for door-to-door delivery, and arranged for the store clerks who stayed in the store to deliver it.
Ding Qing is temporarily living in the store. She needs to be on drip for three hours every afternoon. She spends the morning and the rest of the time resting and watching the store.
Lu Yao talked to her and gave her the delivery orders within three kilometers from the errand shop.
Ding Qing was very happy to start working so soon. After talking with Lu Yao, she felt much more relaxed.
Orders outside three kilometers are temporarily handled by Zhao Ye.
Zhao Ye's work scope is more flexible. When he encounters an order that requires business cards to be delivered to the door, he can put aside his work of sweeping the floor and give priority to delivery.
Lu Yao will also take orders when he is free.
Yesterday, there were a total of 27 errands, and including the orders from the day before, there were only more than 30 orders.
There are only five days left for the task, and more than 200 orders are needed to complete the task.
After yesterday's training test, it is not difficult to run 200 orders in five days with the number and quality of errand runners. The difficulty of this task lies in the fact that there are not so many customers placing orders.
The huge modern city originally had at least hundreds of thousands of permanent residents. The zombie virus spread wildly, and the crystallization of human civilization shrank at an unimaginable speed, and the urban population density also shrank greatly.
Lu Yao was preparing to expand the coverage of the Wish Network to within a radius of 50 kilometers. The operating rules and regulations made 24 signal receivers and sent several small electric vehicles to the Alexandria Continent and the Floating World Continent respectively, asking the alien shop assistants and weapon refiners to modify them, and forcibly improve the horsepower and endurance of the small electric vehicles through magic and spells.
It's a new day. Lu Yao's task is to place signal receivers and complete the coverage of the network as soon as possible to expand the customer base.
When Lu Yao went out, he met Tang Anqi's team. They were going to the nearby building materials market to find materials for replacing the door.
Four people lived together last night, taking turns to be on duty, and barely managed to survive the night.
The four of them discussed leaving Jiang Yifei to clean up the house and take care of the supplies, while the other three went to the building materials market to find materials.
Lu Yao drove the small electric car straight in a hurry. The goal in the morning was to complete the installation of at least six signal devices.
The radius coverage range reached 50 kilometers. According to the current maximum endurance of the small electric car, it can only run one round trip at most.
However, Lu Yao has a backup plan. She put four fully charged small electric vehicles in her portable warehouse. If one of them can't run, she will find a hidden place to replace it with a fully charged one to continue running.
In fact, there are more than one solutions to improve efficiency. If you don't want to attract attention, small electric vehicles are the simplest.
The Dream-Fulfilling System scanned the nearby terrain and collected data along the way. At the same time, it planned the best route for Lu Yao. The work in the morning went very smoothly.
On the way back, Lu Yao received a call from Zhang Shu. The clerk of the DIY Hut sent a call. It seemed that there was a malfunction in Ghost Street. The clerk could not repair it with his ability, and the owner needed to go to the store to take a look.
Things sounded very urgent. Lu Yao contacted Harold and asked him to open the time and space gate to pick her up. This was the fastest way to go back.
Harold had just finished an errand and happened to be free. He came over immediately after receiving the news and sent Lu Yao back to the errand shop in less than half a minute.
After leaving the errand shop, Lu Yao first went to the main brain room of the Ghost System to understand the situation.
Song Qingshan and He Bi were worried about this matter. They didn't expect the shop owner to come back so soon. The two seemed to have found their backbone and immediately reported the abnormality on Ghost Street.
Song Qingshan said in confusion: "I don't know what's going on there. The system suddenly detected dozens of unknown information. It looks like new players, but they didn't log in from Ghost Street."
He Bi: "I've never seen such a situation."
Lu Yao asked the Dream Fulfilling System: "Do you know what's going on?"
After Lu Yao negotiated with the official representative of Tomorrow City, he continued to run the DIY hut on Ghost Street.
Every day, new customers come to the store to buy ghost bracelets, but the number of people is very small. There have been only a few people in the past two days, and more than ten people at most.
The DIY hut is now in an unmanned sales mode. There are no customers, no hand-made activities, and only ghost bracelets are sold.
When a customer signs a contract, the contract is automatically generated. After the customer signs, it is collected in the backstage. Song Qingshan and He Bi take turns to organize it and hand it to Lu Yao before leaving work every day.
With such a relaxed business model, Lu Yao couldn't figure out the reason for the bug.
Dream-fulfilling system: "Go to the store and contact Pei Qi directly. They are the ones who caused this."
Lu Yao had no choice but to go to the DIY hut. When she entered the store, she saw four or five people sitting in the lobby. When they saw her come in, they also cast their eyes on her, but didn't say anything.
Customers who have recently bought bracelets have never seen Lu Yao, and they don’t know that she is the owner.
The owner looked around and asked directly: "Are you new players who have just logged into Ghost Street?"
One of them stood up: "Who are you?"
Lu Yao: "My name is Lu Yao, the owner of this store."
The man walked over excitedly: "You are the owner? I finally meet you."
Lu Yao was puzzled: "What can I do for you?"
The man turned around and walked back, pulling up a boy sitting at the table: "This is my younger brother. Before today, he had been trapped in a In a game called "Horror B&B". I entered the virtual world wearing a ghost bracelet, and after finding him, I brought him to Ghost Street through the virtual channel built by the game company. He seemed to be scared silly, a little dazed, and didn't think about going out. The administrator sent an email saying that he could come to the DIY hut for classes, which might be able to regain his consciousness. We came to the store and didn't see the clerk. We didn't know what to do, and then you came. "
Virtual channel?
Lu Yao was wondering, and the ghost bracelet in the portable warehouse made a new message alert sound.
The person who sent the message to Lu Yao was Pei Qi.
He was in the office, saw Lu Yao online, and immediately contacted her.
Pei Qi said that the virtual channel was a rescue measure discussed by dozens of top electronic information engineers in Tomorrow City.
The Star of Enlightenment could no longer be counted on, and they did not have enough time and personnel to search for and crack the logout device of each virtual space. The final compromise they thought of was to recreate the exit.
However, after dozens of attempts, they found that there were twisted and folded spaces in those virtual worlds, and opening the door was more troublesome than finding the exit.
In the end, the team studying the Star of Enlightenment proposed the "virtual channel" plan, looking for a world with a similar writing style to the Ghost Street world from countless virtual worlds, and then disassembling and rewriting the program to connect the two worlds.
The rescuers entered the target virtual world wearing ghost bracelets and brought the lost players from that virtual world to the Ghost Street world.
Players who came to the Ghost Street world could log out from Ghost Street.
Today was their first attempt to build a virtual channel, connecting the world of "Horror B&B" and the world of Ghost Street. Unexpectedly, they successfully brought out six players at once.
However, these players were in a state of deep loss and needed to be awakened again.
When it came to awakening consciousness, Pei Qi could only think of Lu Yao and her DIY hut.
Lu Yao spent a few minutes digesting this information, with only one thought in his mind: "After you connect the 'Horror B&B' and Ghost Street, won't the monsters there come to Ghost Street?"
Pei Qi was silent: "... Sorry, we didn't think of this."
The situation Lu Yao said is entirely possible. This is only the first virtual world, and they want to continue to connect Ghost Street and other worlds.
Pei Qi: "Sorry, I'll report this right away."
Lu Yao interrupted him: "I don't mind, as long as you're not scared."
Pei Qi: "..."
We're scared!!! Lu Yao
even began to fantasize: "This way my DIY hut is connected to the myriad worlds, and I'll never have to worry about customers."
Pei Qi was tortured to the point of being exhausted physically and mentally in Ghost Street.
Unless necessary, he now strongly resists entering the virtual world.
Virtual worlds with similar writing styles to Ghost Street are all filled with terrifying and dark illusions.
What kind of people would be born in those worlds?
Pei Qi's heartbeat quickened just by imagining it.
Lu Yao: "Have you contacted the former clerks for me?"
Pei Qi came to his senses and said, "Yes. Jiang Lin and Cai Yuxing are going to repeat their studies and retake the exam. Ji Linkai and Gan Ying did not refuse directly, but are still considering it. Liu Jing and Chen You said that if the salary is not ghost coins, it is okay to come to the store to work."
Speaking of Liu Jing and Chen You, Pei Qi couldn't help but sigh at the strong psychological quality of these two girls.
Lu Yao: "Then please notify them to go online. I will be in the store for about two hours in the afternoon, just in time for a face-to-face interview."
DIY Hut now charges monthly coins for transactions with players. Monthly coins are the common currency of Tomorrow City.
If Lu Yao hires more clerks in Tomorrow City, he will also pay them monthly coins as compensation.
Half an hour later, Lu Yao met Liu Jing and Chen You again on Youling Street, negotiated the contract and treatment, signed the agreement, and hired the two as clerks of the DIY House again.
That afternoon, the DIY House officially resumed operations.
There were not many customers that day, so they were not busy with one of them working at the front desk and the other as an instructor.
It was already past three in the afternoon when they finished dealing with the matters of the DIY House. Lu Yao returned to the shopping street and briefly explained the situation of Youling Street to Song Qingshan and He Bi, and then returned to the errand shop without stopping. When
Zhang Shu saw her coming back, she happily reported that six or seven customers came to the store to buy business cards in the afternoon. They were all residents of Guanyin Community and across the street, and a total of forty-three business cards were sold. Lu
Yao walked over to look at the sales record sheet made by Zhang Shu, and the errand system suddenly prompted that a customer had filled out a flyer.
Two minutes ago, the system also received an order placed through a flyer.
Zhao Ye has already received the order and is delivering the goods.
The doctor from the shopping street came a little late today, and Ding Qing is still on IV drip.
Lu Yao carefully looked at the address on the order and said, "I'll go. It just so happens that I haven't been there yet. I'll deliver the goods and place the signal device at the same time."
[Author's words]
Useless little explanation: The people who came to the shopping street before were surgeons, psychologists, and students majoring in traditional Chinese medicine. This time it was a gynecologist.

Non-existent small theater:
Xie Yu turned around: "Ah, who?"
A: "My widow."
Xie Yu was confused but didn't dare to say: The instructor seems to have a brain disease.
