2 The Seventh Store
◎ New store decoration and Nittian continent.◎
In the afternoon, Lu Yao woke up from a nap, full of energy.
On the carpet in the middle of the lobby of the nail salon, a half-built building block was placed, and there was no one in the room. It
was the Dragon Festival in Alexandria, and it was very lively. It was estimated that Harold took Budu out to play.
Lu Yao went back to Linshi two days ago to sweep her mother's grave. Apart from that, she had no other worries. She had been alone for many years, and no relatives were leaving on New Year's Day.
She ate something casually, took a cup of black tea and sat by the window, and began to draw the hotel decoration drawings. When she
came back from the hotel in the early morning, Lu Yao already had a rough plan in her mind. She
had done this many times, and every store on the shopping street was designed by her personally. Her pen was fluent and there were few pauses.
Two hours later, Lu Yao put down his pen, picked up the newly-made renovation drawings, checked them, confirmed that there were no problems, and submitted them to the system.
Twenty-four hours later, the renovation of the hotel will be completed.
The system received the drawings as usual, but there was no maintenance reminder.
After a few minutes, the system popped up: [Owner, I have to leave for a while. ]
Lu Yao: "Are you going to take a year-end leave too?"
The system did not refute: [Almost. I received a training notice and need to go out to study. It is also the year-end summary, so I am afraid I will have to delay it for a month or two. 】
Lu Yao never knew that the system had so many problems, and was a little surprised: "So I can't open the store for the next one or two months?"
System: [When I'm away, the robot will issue tasks on my behalf, and the popularity point redemption service will have to be suspended. 】
Lu Yao: "What does this mean..."
System: [If there is no special task reward, the store renovation and upgrade during this period must be handled by the store owner himself. 】
This is the purpose.
Lu Yao frowned and fell silent. He was distressed for a long time before speaking: "Without you, renovation becomes a big problem. Not to mention how much time it will take, the cost alone is a headache for me. Now I have six or seven stores, and I spend all my money on purchasing goods, but I can't cash in the profits. Without the popularity redemption service to relieve the pressure, I'm afraid I will go bankrupt in less than two months."
The system was unmoved: [I can't do anything about the work arrangement, I hope the owner can understand.]
Lu Yao: "Then can you finish the renovation and maintenance of the hotel before you leave? It only takes one day anyway."
System: [Sorry, I'm leaving soon. Please take care of me while I'm away.]
After saying this, the system really disappeared, and no matter how Lu Yao poked it, there was no response.
Lu Yao called up the system interface. Everything was functioning normally, and there was no problem with the portable warehouse.
It seemed that after the system left, the biggest problem would be the maintenance and upgrade of each store, which would have to be solved by the store owners.
In the past, a major project that only needed one day of maintenance was now time-consuming, labor-intensive, and expensive for Lu Yao to do.
It was really a New Year's gift for her.
Lu Yao sat by the window for a while, then got up to clean up the cold tea, changed clothes, and prepared to go out.
Since she was relatively free these days, she would first think of a way to solve the decoration of the hotel.
Walking through the middle of the lobby, Lu Yao paused, turned around, picked up a few scattered building blocks from the carpet, put them in his pocket, walked out of the store, and walked towards the hotel across the small street.
If the system had used this trick at this time last year, she would have been helpless.
Lu Yao pushed open the door of the shop, and the table and stool she sat on last night were still in the middle.
This hotel was originally two small shops that were connected and merged together, with two bright windows in the front and back, one facing the shopping street and one against the mountain.
The area is not large, but the lighting is very good.
The sunlight shines in obliquely, reflecting the shape of the window lattice on the floor. It is not very warm, but it makes the room bright enough.
Lu Yao stood by the window for a while, turned around and walked to the door. He changed his mind and pushed the door open again. Outside the door became a desolate and cold place again, with endless ice and snow.
This is the Nittian continent.
Lu Yao took out a sickle from the warehouse and walked out. She didn't walk far before stopping at a gentle slope next to the inn.
She used the blade to brush away the snow, randomly turned over a gray stone, took off her gloves, placed her left hand on the stone, and carefully constructed what she wanted in her mind.
Complex and mysterious dark patterns emerged from Lu Yao's wrist, spreading all the way up her arm until it wrapped around her entire arm.
After a moment, Lu Yao opened her eyes, and bits of golden light overflowed from her fingertips.
Cracks appeared on the surface of the stone, and the excess parts began to peel off, with debris rustling all over the ground, and finally turned into a square regular shape, with rows of raised dots appearing on the upward side.
Lu Yao took out a building block part from his pocket and compared it with the part made of stone. The size and weight were exactly the same. It was just that the material was changed from lightweight plastic to hard rock.
This ability obtained with the blessing of the goddess of abundance was more useful than expected. Lu Yao was satisfied and continued to find stones. He made a bunch of stone parts of different sizes and sorted them into his portable warehouse.
She used a knife to cut off a few thorny vines, pinched the thorny vines in her hands, and the things she wanted emerged in her mind.
The clumps of thorny vines turned into brown tubes of different lengths in Lu Yao's hands. Some were solid, some were hollow, and they had different uses.
[You have a new task! Please be ready and open for business within three days. You will be rewarded with 100 points of popularity and +1 currency exchange machine! 】
Just as she started, the mission came.
Lu Yao tried to call the agent robot, but there was no response.
It seems that the robot is only responsible for issuing tasks and has no communication function.
In this case, she did it completely according to her own wishes.
The business will open in three days, and time is really tight.
Lu Yao collected all the materials she would need temporarily and hurried back to the store before dark.
Budu ran over from the other side of the street, and when he saw Lu Yao, the anxiety in his eyes faded away.
Lu Yao was sorting out the materials, turned his head to look at him, and asked, "Where is Harold?"
Budu: "In the store. We bought a lot of delicious food from the city and are waiting for our mother to come back."
Lu Yao followed Budu back to the nail salon for dinner and casually suggested, "Let's go to the hotel to play with building blocks tonight."
Budu and Harold were puzzled.
When they arrived at the store, Budu and Harold suddenly realized what they were doing when they saw the materials piled on the floor.
Lu Yao took out a stack of blueprints and smiled, "I plan to open the store in three days. Time is a bit tight, so I'll just build it to the point where I can welcome customers."
Harold's thoughts were confirmed, and he got excited, "Are you going to let the dwarfs live in the building block house we built?"
Budu blinked his eyes, imagining Monk living in the building block house he built, eating and sleeping in the room, and he could hardly suppress his excitement.
Who hasn't played house when they were a kid?
When Harold was a kid, he played pretend games with other little dragons in Dragon Valley, and used magic to stir mud and stones as food.
Lu Yao's drawings were much more detailed than Harold and Budu's imaginations, and there were many delicate and detailed designs in them. Three days would definitely not be enough to build them all.
Lu Yao had already decided to start with the bright window near the door and build a guest room for guests to eat and sleep in three days.
After dividing the work according to the drawings, the three sat down and began to work.
After midnight, Harold and Budu were still in an excited state, with no intention of stopping at all.
The construction of the hotel was different from the building blocks they usually played with. While the exterior had to be stable, the water supply and drainage system and electrical wiring inside had to be unobstructed, just like a normal hotel.
It was difficult, but also very interesting. Lu
Yao still had things to do, so he got up and went out alone, walking towards the cinema next door.
It was early morning in the Dawu Dynasty, to which the cinema was connected. The cinema had not yet opened, but the staff had already arrived one after another.
Lu Yao greeted them and turned to leave.
The time in the Dawu Dynasty was slower than that in the shopping street and other worlds. It was not yet the New Year in this world, but the streets were already filled with the atmosphere of the New Year.
Lu Yao mainly wanted to order a batch of special furniture and appliances for the hotel today.
She searched for miniature models online in the afternoon and saw various styles of small beds, small bookcases, small tables and chairs, and even small refrigerators and small microwave models.
These gadgets are not difficult to buy, but there is a fatal flaw - the models are exquisite in style and have practical functions, but the price is also very expensive.
Lu Yao thought about it for a while and decided to find a craftsman to make a batch of them.
She first went to a familiar carpenter's shop and handed them a set of drawings with fixed dimensions, including mini furniture such as wooden beds, tables and chairs, and coffee tables.
When the carpenter received the drawings, he initially thought the size was written wrong, but he didn't say much after asking.
They occasionally had nothing to do, so they made a few toys of this shape for their children at home.
It was just that Lu Yao ordered a slightly larger quantity, and the carpenter thought that the cinema was planning to produce movie-related peripherals.
Lu Yao didn't elaborate on the use, paid a deposit, and agreed to see a batch of finished products in two days.
The first batch she ordered was not large in quantity, and they were all toys for pretending to be at home, so the carpenter didn't find it difficult.
After leaving the carpenter's shop, Lu Yao turned to Jinxiufang on another street and ordered a batch of mini-sized bedding.
Afterwards, she went to Yanzhilou to call Xu Niangzi, and they hired a carriage to leave the city together.
During the New Year, Yanzhilou and Luyao's cinema are going to jointly launch a new cosmetics brand. They agreed to go to the kiln to inspect the newly fired containers, and Luyao also ordered a batch of tableware for the dwarfs.
Luyao ran to several places in succession and finally got all the planned itineraries done.
When he returned to the shopping street, it was already dawn.
---
Nitean Continent.
The three moons slowly sank below the horizon, and the day broke.
However, the clouds were piled up and the weather was still bad.
Not long after, the blizzard came again.
Munch dragged his huge pink floral bag and struggled forward against the wind and snow.
He walked for a long time, his body was numb and stiff, hungry and cold, but he never saw the familiar haystacks and rock walls.
The little people of the Red Pig Tribe like to live in caves, using hay and animal fur to keep warm.
The snow and wind were blinding, and the journey home seemed to be a distant place that would never be reached.
Imagining what his tribal companions would look like when they saw his food, Monk regained strength, gritted his teeth, dragged his bag like a small tail, and moved forward step by step.
The little people were too small, and the footprints left on the snow were quickly covered by the snow and wind.
...
"Monk! Monk!"
In a trance, Monk heard Dada's voice.
But the snow and wind were so strong, and Dada had already returned to the tribe with the others, so how could he be talking in his ear?
This was a dream.
Monk turned over and covered his ears.
"Monk, Monk Monk!!!"
The voice became louder and louder, close to his ears.
Monk was a little upset, frowning and trying to endure it. He couldn't help it anymore, so he suddenly sat up and shouted: "My ears are going deaf, stop shouting!"
Dada, who was as tall as Monk, was standing next to the haystack. He was frightened by the sudden roar, and it took him a while to recover. He turned to joy and said: "Wake up, wake up, finally wake up! I thought you were going to die!"
Monk was stunned, and quickly scanned the furnishings in the cave, and gradually reacted: "I'm home?"
Dada nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "You fell at the border of the territory, and the returning hunting team saw you and brought you back."
Monk looked down at his body. It was still the old fur he wore when he went out. The hooded cloak that Lu Yao sewed for him was gone, and his pink bag was also gone. Monk
turned over suddenly, lifted the hay and searched everywhere.
Dada squatted down: "What's wrong? What are you looking for?"
Monk: "A bag, a big and beautiful bag, have you seen it?"
Dada frowned: "When the hunting team sent you back, you had nothing on you, even your weapons were gone. You were frozen into ice in the snow, and you didn't even know where to tie a knot. Everyone said you were stupid."
Monk was angry and anxious.
How could the food that he brought back with so much difficulty be gone?
Monk didn't want to talk, turned around and ran outside, but was pulled back by Dada.
Dada: "What happened?"
Monk sat on the ground dejectedly, like a gloomy little mushroom: "I met an adult human."
Dada: "What?"
Monk tried to cheer up and began to tell Dada about his encounter with Lu Yao.
But Dada didn't believe it.
Every Nittian had heard the legend of adult humans, but no dwarf had ever seen a real adult human.
"I really met her. She gave me a mountain of jerky and berries. The jerky was more delicious than the smoked jerky of the Xiaguang tribe, and the berries were sweet and juicy..." Monk was deeply shocked, his little face wrinkled like walnut skin, "Dada, we have to bring the food back."
Dada exhaled, trying to speak in a calm tone: "When you were still asleep, Zhuangyu brought a pot of potato soup. I'll serve you a bowl, and have a good rest after you're full."
Monk pounded the ground in anger: "..."
Why didn't you believe him?
[Author's words]
Lovely pre-collection No. 2: "After the Buddhist daughter is bound to the dark history system", please collect it~
Copywriting: Wen Ruyu is a Buddhist daughter in Mary Sue's book.
In the story, Wen Ruyu and the heroine have been good friends for a lifetime.
After adulthood, she married Ji'an, the youngest and most promising new noble in S City at that time.
In the fifth year of marriage, Wen Ruyu suffered from a terminal illness and died in the emergency room at the age of twenty-seven.
When she woke up again, Wen Ruyu returned to the age of sixteen and learned that she lived in a book and was bound to a dark history system.
Dark History System: [Your luck was borrowed by someone. Even if you live a peaceful and indifferent life and do not cause trouble, you will only live to the age of twenty-seven in the end. ]
Wen Ruyu: "Actually, I think it's not bad."
Dark History System: [I don't think it's good! You must live to be ninety-nine, and I will help you.
Wen Ruyu: "..."
***
In the first mission, Wen Ruyu revisits the "three love letters" incident with the help of the system.
As a female supporting character with the label of "gentle, generous and high emotional intelligence", she once helped her brother, childhood friend and deskmate pass love letters to the same person.
Doing it again, Wen Ruyu found that Ji'an, who was a poor academic genius at the time, also passed a love letter to her friend.
Later, it was this friend who introduced Ji'an to her.
Black History System: [Your luck started to be borrowed from here. 】
Wen Ruyu covered her face: "Am I the only one in the book who doesn't know?"
Dark History System: "After all, you are gentle, generous and Buddhist."
Wen Ruyu: "..."
Sitting on the bench of fate again, facing the three love letters delivered to her, Wen Ruyu had to avoid being borrowed by fate, and at the same time not change the general direction of the plot.
Wen Ruyu: "Go, dark history."
I can't be the only one who will die socially.
***
A long, long time later, Wen Ruyu discovered that all the dark history of a person's life was related to her.
He was arrogant, venomous and cold-hearted. In the last life, the two of them would quarrel with each other when they met.
After her death, he reversed time and space and was willing to be the ruler of love.
