259 ? The tenth store

259 The Tenth Store

◎The ultimate mission begins.◎

The old lady took the honey bottle, bowed to Lu Yao and thanked him repeatedly, and took off a plain solid bracelet from her wrist and put it in Lu Yao's hand.

She is old and has all kinds of problems, except for her ears.

Just now, I was sitting on the roadside with my husband and heard the community and Lu Yao's team talking. I learned that they were the ones who delivered the package for my daughter, and I heard that they had to give gold to them for doing things.

The old lady happened to be wearing a big gold bracelet, and she insisted on giving it to Lu Yao.

If it weren't for these young people, I don't know how today would end.

Lu Yao refused several times. The situation was special and he didn't treat it as a business at all.

After the matter was settled, Lu Yao communicated with the people in the community, and they would send Zhang Aijun and his family back. Lu Yao turned around and asked the clerk to leave.

Yin Gu stopped her: "You don't want to open a store, where are you going?"

Facing dozens of inquiring eyes, Yin Gu tried to sew his face: "We were wrong just now, we misunderstood you. We just discussed that as long as you abide by the community rules, you can add an errand shop in the community. The shop surface will be provided by us, and you can choose the location." Lu

Yao: "What are the community rules?"

Yin Gu: "Don't steal, don't force transactions, don't cause trouble, and don't kidnap women and children."

The Clover Community has no management, but there are agreed rules, and the supervisors are all residents in the community.

Once someone breaks the rules, they will be kicked out of the community.

In fact, there is another rule that if someone sends a signal bomb for help, people nearby must find a way to rescue them in time.

This rule takes advantage of the errand shop too much, so Yin Gu didn't mention it.

Lu Yao was somewhat surprised to know that this was the rule.

Without the constraints of the law and order, the community can still maintain such principles.

Lu Yao didn't care about the previous unpleasantness. Her goal was to build a site. Now the conditions in all aspects are infinitely close to perfection, and there is no reason to refuse.

Zhang Aijun and his family were sent back to their residence by people from the community, and Yin Gu personally took Lu Yao to the inside of the community to find a storefront to open a store.

Lu Yao had already walked around the community for a few times. Yin Gu suggested that she could pick any location and shop. Lu Yao went over the places she had seen before in her mind and chose a shop located at a three-way intersection.

The shop was not particularly large, and there was a small attic on the upper floor. Originally, a pair of young sisters lived there.

Yin Gu went to communicate, and the community helped them move to a similar residence, and it was not a shop, but a normal residence.

The two sisters moved to the Clover community too late, and the surrounding houses were occupied, so they had no choice but to live here. They readily agreed to change to a better place.

Lu Yao asked the clerk to bring four boxes of supplies from the car, including food, clothes, drinking water, and many daily necessities, to give to the sisters who were willing to give her the shop.

The store clerk was familiar with the process of setting up the site, and the equipment, tools, and supplies were all in the carriage.

After the shop floor was selected, the system was maintained for one day, and the Clover Station was immediately added to the map of the Gaosheng City Errands Store and the Green Ant City Station.

Twenty-four hours later, the store clerk entered the site, first cleaned the inside and outside with a cleaning talisman, and then moved the equipment from the carriage into the office for installation.

Lu Yao took Lu Mingxiao to set up signal receivers and transmission arrays throughout the community and within ten kilometers of the periphery.

Three days later, the second branch of the Errand Shop, the Clover Station, officially opened for business.

The Clover Station once again adjusted the price and business scope of the errand order. The situation in Zhongling City was different from that in Green Ant City.

There are too many zombies, and the community residents have almost plundered all the supplies in the city. It has become more difficult to collect in the remaining areas, and in the end they may have to hope to resume production.

Zhongling City has an industrial zone, but it was completely shut down after the outbreak of the zombie virus. To restart industrial production, they must solve the problems of raw materials and workers.

The residents of the Clover community have a lot of ideas. After the errand shop appeared, after nearly a week of running-in, they have already understood the business coverage of the errand runners.

The industrial zone restoration plan, which was originally unable to start due to the siege of zombies, was put on the agenda again.

However, asking errand runners to clean up the zombies in the factory area is considered a special business, and the price is different from ordinary errands.

Before the plan was officially launched, residents of the Clover community began to collect gold products on a large scale.

A week later, the Clover station became more stable, the routes of the head office, Green Ant City and Zhongling City were connected, and the express delivery business was on the rise.

Xia Huaisong, Zhou Mingyang and Jiang Yifei stayed at this station, and Lu Yao transferred a trained errand team to be stationed there permanently.

There are transmission arrays inside the station and on the transport vehicles, and the stations can be contacted in real time.

Lu Yao set out from Zhongling City that day and took the new store clerks and errand runners to Yinbian City.

Four days later, the errand shop officially opened for business in Yinbian City, the third branch of the Kingdom of Gold.

[Successfully established three new stations in the Kingdom of Gold within the mission time limit, mission completed! Reward popularity +100,000, world truth fragments +15! 】

【Lu Yao's errand shop is favored by the citizens of the Golden Kingdom, and has been upgraded to a four-star shop with rave reviews! Reward popularity +40,000, world truth fragments +4! Please keep up the good work, shop owner! 】

Hearing the system task notification, Lu Yao immediately checked the portable warehouse, and the puzzle fragments had been sent to the warehouse.

During the period of gradually advancing the construction of new sites, Lu Yao sent out experienced errand runners to help her collect prescriptions suspected of puzzle fragments.

The dragon clan has sufficient curiosity and the most talent for treasure hunting. Harold, Si Jin, Tina and Qiu Yu searched all the major hospitals and clinics in the country and recovered most of the puzzle fragments for Lu Yao.

They were very curious about the secret of this puzzle.

There were only five pieces left out of the sixty-six puzzles. It was expected that one more task would be enough to get all the pieces, and the ultimate task would not be far away.

[You have a new task! Lu Yao's - errand - shop - is becoming famous - and it is - please -]

The system voice signal suddenly became bad, and the sound was intermittent and unclear.

Lu Yao was sitting in the staff office of the Yinbian City station and tried to call the Dream Fulfilling System.

No matter how she called, the system did not respond.

The office door was suddenly opened from the outside, and Lu Mingxiao stood by the door. A black robe covered his figure, and he suddenly appeared like a slender ghost.

It was not until he pushed the door open that Lu Yao could see his appearance clearly.

His long black hair was half tied behind his head, his eyes were red, and three broken chains were hanging from the edge of the Fushenling collar around his neck.

His eyes were heavy, and a strong smell of blood lingered around him. When he came closer, a light fragrance shone through the strong smell of blood.

This is... the smell of god's blood...

but it's not strong, and Lu Yao didn't feel dizzy when he smelled it like before.

Lu Yao was inexplicably startled, and he stood up to greet him, helped him sit down on the sofa, and his tone was relatively calm: "Where have you been? Are you injured?"

Lu Mingxiao signaled Lu Yao to reach out with his eyes.

When she stretched out her left hand in confusion, Lu Mingxiao covered her palm with his right hand, clenched it tightly for a moment, and then restrainedly took it back.

He lowered his eyes and stared at Lu Yao, her reflection in the depths of his bright red pupils: "Lu Yao, I'm leaving."

As the voice fell, Lu Mingxiao's body began to become empty.

So sudden?

Something was wrong.

A layer of black mist appeared faintly on the edge of Lu Yao's clear pupils, and the clear pupils were invaded by the black mist, and instantly became as black as jade.

On the edge of the sofa, the shadows cast by the light were surging.

Lu Mingxiao looked at her helplessly, and raised his hand with the last bit of strength he had. He fell on the corner of her eyes and gently soothed her: "It's almost there, it's almost there... We won't always be separated like this."

He murmured like a sigh, and like a thin mist, he gently embraced her and dissipated silently.

The yellowed pieces of old paper in Lu Yao's palm slowly shrank and turned into five pieces of the puzzle.

The blocked system voice suddenly returned to normal -

[Successfully collected the entire version of the "World Truth" puzzle, congratulations to the owner for completing the hidden task! Reward popularity value +660,000, World Truth puzzle frame +1! ]

[Task correction! The owner completed the hidden task and obtained the task acceleration authority! May I ask if you want to use the authority? Please make a decision within three seconds. The countdown starts at three, two——】

Lu Yao clenched the puzzle pieces in his hand, and the black mist at the edge of his pupils flickered faintly: "Use the task acceleration authority."

[The ultimate task is open! The god Mo Zhu will come to Lu Yao's errand shop in person soon, please prepare to welcome him. After seven days, the god Mo Zhu will judge the results of the task. Please try your best to complete the task! 】

God Mo Zhu?

His name is Mo Zhu.

The god is going to come to the store in person, but the task requirements are a bit ambiguous.

Before Lu Mingxiao came back, the system was obviously preparing to release a task, but it was not the ultimate task at that time, so I don’t know what the original task was.

Lu Mingxiao was out for a long time, and his body was stained with the fragrance of god's blood.

Did he go to fight Mo Zhu?

The Dream-Fulfilling System popped up: "He went to find puzzle pieces. The last five pieces are in a place you can't go to for the time being. If you can't get them, you can't complete the hidden mission. Although it doesn't affect the opening of the ultimate mission, it will slow down the progress of the mission."

Lu Yao: "Why is he so anxious?"

Dream-Fulfilling System: "I don't know. Maybe he has some personal considerations."

The Dream-Fulfilling System didn't know about the Fushen Order. Lu Yao frowned slightly. The little system was really a naive person and was not proficient in the business at all.

Fushen Order, someone in the Supreme Temple wanted Lu Mingxiao's body and her wish.

I always feel that there is still a key clue missing, and these information can't be connected.

The grid of the portable warehouse contains the sixty-one puzzle pieces that were collected before, as well as the puzzle frame that was just rewarded for the mission.

Lu Yao put the remaining five puzzle pieces in his hand into the warehouse grid, stood up and walked out.

The ultimate mission has been opened, and Mo Zhu will come to the errand shop in person soon.

When the gods come, they will definitely go to the main store.

Lu Yao had better go back to the main store as soon as possible to prepare for the reception.

However, Lu Yao originally planned to complete the system tasks and continue to expand the territory of the errand shop.

She plans to build at least four new stations in the Golden Kingdom within two weeks, including Qi Jin, Nanxin, Jitao, and a small city southwest of Gaosheng City - Quzhuang.

Lu Yao has sent experienced runners to Qijin City and Quzhuang to check out the sites. When they come back to report the situation, she will go there in person to organize the construction of the sites.

Lu Yao contacted Harold and gave priority to building sites in Qijin City and Quzhuang. The sites in Nanxin and Jitao can be continued after Mo Zhu arrives.

The two sites of Qijin and Quzhuang are in special locations. One is the capital of the Kingdom of Gold, and the other is a plantation with the hope of developing effective blocking agents. Lu Yao is worried that someone is deliberately setting a trap for her.

Fortunately, the construction of the sites in Qijin City and Quzhuang went very smoothly. Lu Yao traveled to various cities for two days and returned to the head office in Gaosheng City covered in dust.

It has been two days since the final mission was announced, and Mo Zhu has not arrived yet, and there are only five days left for the mission.

Lu Yao was a little anxious. After building two crucial stations, she also had the mind to think about the final mission.

When Lu Yao returned to the store, it was closing time and the employees had all gone home.

She pushed open the door, took a hot bath, and ate something. Instead of going back to the shopping street, she sat on the sofa in the employee office and took out the puzzle and prop photo frame from her portable warehouse.

The person who usually stayed here was gone, and the surroundings were quiet.

Lu Yao was not afraid of this loneliness, she just couldn't help wondering if he was already waiting for him in the next world.

What was he doing while waiting?

Was the Fu Shen Ling still binding him?

After worrying for a while, Lu Yao got up, poured a cup of hot water, and sat down to fiddle with the puzzle pieces on the sofa.

Since this puzzle is a hidden mission, it should contain some kind of hint, perhaps related to the ultimate mission.

Lu Yao picked up the puzzle and observed it under the light. It was indeed not that simple.

Sixty-six puzzle pieces are not a lot, but there is no difference between the front and the back, and they are all white.

Pure white hell.

She knew there was such a puzzle.

Complaining, being angry, going crazy... any emotion is useless in the face of the mission. Lu Yao screened the puzzle pieces in his hand one by one under the light, with a serious expression, and he didn't put together two pieces in half an hour.

Lu Yao was so focused that she completely blocked out external distractions until the sound of the dream-fulfilling system exploded in her mind.

Dream-fulfilling system: "He is coming outside the door."
