274 ? The eleventh store

274 The Eleventh Store

◎The bookstore is like a holy church. ◎

Lu Yao is like a ruthless capitalist: "I will work with you."

No, capitalists will not work overtime with their employees.

The Dream System thought of the 10 million loan, felt a little guilty, and said nothing more.

When there were only fifteen minutes left before the end of the lunch break, the customers in the reading room reluctantly put down their books and got up and walked out of the bookstore one after another.

Not all customers who read books will buy books, the probability is about one in five.

The owner is not unhappy with customers who read books but don't buy them.

It's just that someone took advantage of the crowd and wanted to take a few books away, and accidentally stepped on the owner's mine point.

The shop owner was collecting money and packing books at the cashier. People who didn't buy books walked towards the door. The alarm sounded suddenly. People who hadn't left the shop were not panicked, but a little confused.

A mechanical sound suddenly announced to the whole store: [This store does not provide free book gift service.

Please return the books to their original places, customers 013, 046, and 059. ]

[This store does not provide free book gift service. Please return the books to their original places, customers 013, 046, and 059. ] [This store does not provide free book gift service. Please return the books to their original places, customers 013, 046, and 059. ]

The number is the order in which customers enter the bookstore. As an all-round auxiliary system, the Dream System has a very mature function in this regard.

By not directly notifying the customer of the mechanical body characteristics, there is still room for maneuver. The owner does not want the customers to think that the bookstore has no security system and then steal books repeatedly, so he uses this as a warning.

The Dream Fulfilling System made three announcements, but the three criminals who took the books privately did not take any action.

The owner is too young and a native, so she is really not a threat.

The criminals who stole books probably thought that even if they were caught by the owner, she could not do anything to them, and some of them walked towards the door openly.

Lu Yao put down the book that was halfway scanned in his hand, smiled apologetically at the customer in front of him, and jumped out with one hand holding the cash register counter.

The next second, a mechanical electronic voice sounded -

"The cashier has switched to artificial intelligence processing mode. Please pay as shown on the page."

The customer stretched his wrist to the cashier, and his head turned 180 degrees to look in the direction of the bookstore door.

The owner ran over, grabbed an insect-shaped robot that had already walked to the main exit, and removed his steel wings with his bare hands.

With a clang, the hard steel wings fell to the floor, revealing the translucent membrane wings underneath, with several books rolled up in the membrane.

Lu Yao took out the books and let go of the prisoner.

This is already a prison, and Lu Yao couldn't think of any more despicable means to punish thieves in prison.

But if you want to steal a book, don't even think about it.

Lu Yao held the book, turned around and walked a few steps to the left.

There stood a robot that looked like a mailbox. Lu Yao was not polite and punched him in the stomach. His hard steel body was bent inward at 30 degrees, and a pile of books came out of his mouth unexpectedly.

The last one was already scared when he saw this. Without waiting for Lu Yao to walk towards him, he took out his private collection of books and put the books back to the bookshelf on tiptoe, facing the indifferent gazes of the crowd.

In a few short minutes, the bookstore seemed to have suddenly turned into a vacuum.

Everyone was silent, leaving only the indifferent gazes cast from the cold mechanical eyes. The figures of the three thieves shrank infinitely, and they were greatly dwarfed in the silent contempt.

Books are becoming the darlings of this interstellar prison.

Bookstores are like holy churches.

They cannot be defiled.

Moreover, there is a saint who is terribly strong in the church.

In less than half a day, the story of the owner of Bookstore Street breaking the limbs of a robot with his bare hands spread to the Fifth District, the Sixth District, the Eighth District, and even the prison guards in the Ninth District and the Fourth District heard about it.

It was quick and decisive, and no nonsense.

The prisoners in Guandao had never seen such a cool owner.

Her fighting power was so strong that she could break a robot with her bare hands, which showed that her spirit was also very high.

If you want to dig out the brain of this store owner, I'm afraid the people in the inner island will have to do it.

But those guys usually can't get out.

...

Because they had to prepare new books in a hurry, when the seventh and ninth districts got off work, the bookstores also closed on time.

On the second day of the bookstore's official opening, prison guards from the eighth and sixth districts, and prisoners from the sixth and fifth districts came to patronize the bookstore. The turnover was even higher than the first day, with a single-day revenue of more than three million star coins.

The Dream-Fulfilling System no longer wanted to say anything more. Perhaps when the game was determining the gameplay mode, victory was already infinitely tilted towards the store owner, which made those people above a little... like Xiao Chou.

Lu Yao settled the accounts and went back to the shopping street.

She has been guarding the bookstore day and night recently and has no time to visit other stores. She can only take time out every other day to inspect other stores.

Three hours later, Lu Yao returned to the bookstore from the shopping street, holding Alfred in her arms, and entered the mustard seed space with the system to prepare new books to be put on the shelves tomorrow.

The Dream Fulfilling System wailed: "Going to work is like being in prison."

Lu Yao: "That's a golden sentence. Congratulations, you finally know the truth about work."

Dream Fulfilling System: "..."

-

District 6, prison.

Ordinary prisons have a special meal time in the morning, noon and evening, but this is Guandao, and the prisoners are all robots, so "meal time" is concentrated in the evening.

There is no cafeteria in the prison, only a canteen.

At night, the prisoners who go out are sent back to their respective cells and have 40 minutes to move around in the canteen area.

Usually at this time, the guards only monitor the prisoners' actions through surveillance, and most prisoners just buy some maintenance oil to maintain their mechanical limbs.

That night, the public area outside the canteen was obviously more active than usual, and most of the prisoners were talking about the new bookstore that opened in District 8.

Del sat aside and listened. When the group next to him was talking excitedly, he interrupted and said, "Would you like to read a book? All are the latest books in the bookstore. They are not for sale, but only for rent. You can rent one book for one night, starting at 1,000 star coins."

At first, it was inevitable that he would hit a wall, but Del didn't feel embarrassed. With his persistent promotion, a newbie who had just arrived at the seventh dormitory asked him to rent the first volume of "The Count of Monte Cristo".

Del: "This book costs 2,000 star coins."

The newbie was shocked: "Are you asking for a higher price?"

Del tried to blink his mechanical eyes and made a vivid expression: "I said the starting price is 1,000 star coins, and renting this book is 2,000 star coins."

Del showed the back of the book: "Look, the price is more than 60,000. I'll rent it to you for one night, which is enough for you to read it ten times. 2,000 star coins is definitely worth it."

The newbie hesitated for a while, and when other prisoners came to ask, he rented it immediately.

...

Carney had been operating the sewing machine all day, and was worried that the parts of his arms and legs were too badly worn out, so he bought the most expensive maintenance oil and hid in a corner to oil his body.

When he finished applying the maintenance oil and stood up, he saw Del renting books to other prisoners, and blinked violently.

If Del was not a seasoned man, he would not have thought of such an operation.

He was surprised during the day. Even if he liked books, Del was a little too fanatical.

It turned out that he was waiting here.

Once there is a first, there will be a second. Del took advantage of the event time to rent out all the idle books, leaving only the second volume of "The Count of Monte Cristo" and the complete "Journey to the West".

He hasn't had time to read these books yet, but they are enough to kill an entire night.

Carney came over and said hello: "You are really smart."

Del: "It's just a small discount. The books are too expensive. The owner is so powerful, I can't get any bargain."

Later, they also heard about the owner's deeds of catching a book thief, and they regretted leaving too early and not being able to see the excitement on the spot.

Carney took out his collection of books from the cabin: "How about I rent a few books?"

Del introduced Carney to a few customers, all of whom were prisoners who came to him too late and didn't rent books.

...

The activity time is over, and the prison guards come.

The prisoners returned to their own small cells like poultry returning to the cage.

Before leaving work in the evening, 0666 routinely passed the surveillance and checked the room.

He was a little absent-minded tonight because he was reading an exciting book.

0666 took a deep breath, just wanting to finish the work as soon as possible.

Everything was normal in Dormitory 5, except that there were a few more prisoners reading books.

Dormitory 7 was even quieter than yesterday.

0666 looked around, and found that those noisy guys in the past were actually reading books.

0666 felt something was unusual, and checked the activities of the prisoners in Dormitory 7 that day. Finally, he saw Del and Kani selling books to others during "dinner" time.

There are actually many rules in the prison, and generally speaking, prisoners are not allowed to have too many personal belongings.

But books are the goods sold by the store in District 8. It is because of the prisoners buying the books that the store can continue to exist, and it also generates income for Guandao invisibly.

The prison guards did not collect the books in accordance with previous regulations.

I didn't expect that books would be circulated in the prison so soon. I wonder if it will affect the business of the bookstore.

0666 thought that the Eighth District seemed to have some special measures to support this income-generating project, and slowly put his mind at ease.

Books are different from previous commodities and are not too dangerous.

0666 collected his wandering thoughts, thought of the chapters that he had not finished reading, and quickened the pace of his rounds.

-

Fifth District, the guard lounge.

"Dinner" time is over, the canteen is closed, and the guard in charge of the canteen walks into the office with two books.

A colleague saw it and joked, "Is this the book that the prisoners are passing around?"

The canteen guard nodded and said, "It's fifty or sixty thousand Star Coins a copy, it's too expensive. I flipped through a few pages, but I can't see anything special."

0599 looked up and said, "Can you show it to me?"

A collection of poems and a novel.

0599 flipped through a few pages and thought it was pretty good. He looked up and said, "Lend it to me and I'll return it to you tomorrow morning."

The canteen guard didn't care: "I heard there's a very powerful video about the bookstore owner. Who of you has it?"

At noon, the video of Lu Yao dismantling a robot in the store was quickly retrieved by the surveillance team and circulated among the guards.

0599 sent the video that he had watched hundreds of times to his colleagues, and couldn't help saying, "I checked her data, and her mental value is S-level, and she is a pure native."

Everyone knows what "pure" means.

"Pure" was originally the part that they had abandoned, but now it seems to have become the superior part.

...

District 4.

It was just time to turn off the lights, and the entire prison was like an ancient tomb complex, dark and silent, without a single sound.

After a few minutes, crazy laughter came from an unknown cell, and soon there was singing and crying.

In a cell on the bottom floor, a prisoner named Zhu Wei hugged his cold mechanical calves with his hands, leaned his steel mask against the equally cold wall, and looked up at the artificial satellite outside the vent. The despair was even colder than the light emitted by the artificial satellite.

...

The footsteps of the night gradually faded away, and dawn slowly came.

The early morning in the fourth district was even more depressing than the dusk. The guards called the roll, and the prisoners who needed to be interrogated stepped forward, stood in a line, and followed the guards to the airship.

Zhu Wei was among them.

She had confessed everything.

I don't know why, every sixteen days, she still has to undergo mental interrogation.

The airship came out of the fourth district, turned left and right, passed over the eighth district, and slowly flew towards the seventh district.

The prisoners in the airship seemed to have seen something new and started whispering.

Zhu Wei did not react to this, staring straight ahead, meeting the prison guard's gaze, and then slowly looking away.

...

Bookstore Street, a distant bookstore.

Lu Yao was busy all night again, preparing the new book to be put on the shelves before dawn.

The new balloons and promotional banners have been released, and the airship of the fourth zone just happened to fly over. Lu

Yao stopped and watched for a while, then turned around and drank three bottles of recovery potion and a bottle of honey.

"Today is also a day full of vitality!"

Dream-fulfilling system: "...Take it easy, you are almost drugged."
