321 ? The eleventh store

321 The Eleventh Store

◎Seasonings.◎

Lu Yao bent her lips, turned her feet, and walked over slowly. Without asking how she knew she was outside, she said directly: "The mobile bookstore is open for a limited time. Please feel free to pick the books you like."

The customer's mechanical body is ordinary in style and the materials are nothing special, but his spirit value is very high. Perhaps his ability tends to be perception-type, so under the heavy cover of shadows and soundproof barriers, he can still detect Lu Yao's existence.

Lu Yao does not explain to the customer what a book is, but only displays the bookshelf. Most customers who notice her presence will buy one or two books.

The restrictions on prisoners in the three districts of Guandao Island are particularly cruel. Freedom only becomes precious after it is lost, whether it is personal freedom or spiritual freedom.

Here, "scarcity" is a business opportunity.

The mobile bookstore opened smoothly in the ninth prison in the third district. Lu Yao and his two companions only wandered around the third floor and sold thirteen books.

On the first night of the official opening, Lu Yao was already quite satisfied with the performance.

Returning to the bookstore late at night, Lu Yao asked Harold to go back to the nail salon to rest and planned to enter the second district the next day.

-----

The morning in Guandao was as usual, orderly but a little noisy.

As the task progressed, Lu Yao temporarily slowed down the speed and cycle of putting new books on the shelves.

No longer putting a large number of new books on the shelves every day, Lu Yao gradually freed himself from the heavy night work.

There were no new books on the shelves in the store today, except for Painkillers, Bean Paste, Silver Birch and Zero Six. Lu Yao did not have breakfast in the bookstore, but returned to the Furry Shop on the shopping street.

According to the time system of the shopping street, more than ten days had passed since Lu Yao gave Jiuhua information last time. Jiuhua sent her a message last night, wanting her to see the part of the customized book that had been written.

The Furry Shop was already closing in the evening, and Jiuhua would usually get off work at this time. In order to wait for Lu Yao, she did not go back to the Night Light City.

Lu Yao and Jiuhua sat on the pier outside the fishing house, talking in the sea breeze.

Jiuhua was a little excited: "I read those materials, and my inspiration was like a well, and I suddenly had a lot of ideas. I wrote one according to your requirements, more than 60,000 words, which is a short story."

Lu Yao held the tablet and read it very seriously.

The writing skills of senior best-selling novelists are beyond the reach of ordinary people. As Jiuhua said, she probably really likes this subject matter. In just more than 60,000 words, the plot is fresh and unconventional, the rhythm is tight, and one thing after another, the most important thing is that she wrote the feeling that Lu Yao wanted.

Lu Yao took a while to finish reading. After finishing, he took a deep breath and looked at the rippling sea for a long time before saying, "It's very well written. I'm not satisfied

yet." Jiuhua: "I'm relieved if you're satisfied. In fact, I'm not satisfied either. Women in that era were able to break free from the constraints of childbirth and family, which gave me endless ideas. The mechanical body has become the shackles of the new era, and it binds every human being equally. But in that world, humans will crawl on the ground again and pick up the things they had voluntarily discarded. Just thinking about that scene is interesting. Perhaps when humans were created by the Mother Goddess, they were uniformly designed as a race that must be shackled to survive. Robots and natives, Native people and native people, robots and robots, even native people and robots, robots and robots, all kinds of CPs are quite interesting. "

Lu Yao deeply felt the bad taste of teacher Jiuhua, and saw endless possibilities in her words: "Then write them all!"

Jiuhua: "Are you sure? It's not every day that I have that kind of creative state. I need to think about the plot repeatedly in the later stage. It won't be so fast."

Lu Yao: "Love has more than one mode. We will publish it in sections according to short stories. Don't worry. Write more when you are in a good state, and stop when you are not. When you need information, Harold and I will help you collect materials."

Jiuhua thought about the owner's suggestion for a few minutes and agreed.

Writing about the topics you like, getting royalties, and not having the pressure of deadlines is simply the most favorite creative state for freelance writers.

Jiuhua suddenly asked, "What do you think is a good name for the series?" Lu Yao

was surprised, "You haven't chosen one yet?"

Jiuhua shook her head, "I'm not good at naming books."

Lu Yao thought for a while and asked tentatively, "What do you think of 'seasoning'?"

For most people born in the interstellar age, "love" is not the main theme of life. They have much less emotional needs than the people in Lu Yao and Jiuhua's world.

Simply put, love in this world is as insignificant as seasoning.

But without seasoning, the food is tasteless.

Seasoning is an insignificant but indispensable thing for life.

Jiuhua pondered for a while, with a light in her eyes: "You always hit the nail on the head, I like this name." Lu

Yao stood up: "Then it's settled. Inform the design team to produce the cover as soon as possible, and I will go back to the store to prepare, and try to have this new book on the market tonight."

Jiuhua was shocked, this might be the fastest book she has ever produced from finalization to publication.

The owner's ability to act is getting more and more terrifying.

Lu Yao came down from the fishing room and met Ji Zhixin at the door. He was holding a stack of information and was about to look for her.

Ji Zhixin: "Owner, the list of alternative films for the cinema's New Year's special screening has been sorted out. Please take a look and see if there are any additions or deletions."

The New Year's special screening will feature re-screenings of old films and several new films.

Lu Yao saw the name of a series in the candidate list: "This series was only released during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Ji Zhixin nodded: "Yes, because the feedback was particularly enthusiastic, colleagues in the cinema strongly requested that it be re-screened during the New Year."

Lu Yao remembered that the interstellar version of the original book with the same name as this series of movies was about to be completed, and maybe it could be linked by then. At present, the system task was more important, so he handed the list back: "You can arrange it." Lu Yao

came out of the furry shop and went straight back to the bookstore.

Volunteers are not allowed to intervene in the live broadcast area of ​​the store. It is temporarily in charge of Yin Hua, and Painkillers and Dousha are in charge of the book area and reading room.

Because of the restriction order, customers are no longer staying in the store for a long time as usual. Even if they are busy, it is only about an hour during the big break.

Two volunteers and the mascot Zero Six were enough to watch the store.

Lu Yao said hello to the staff, walked through the book area, returned to the private area of ​​the employee lounge, and entered the Mustard Seed Space to start preparing new books.

Before the bookstore closed in the evening, Lu Yao rubbed his eyes and came out of the Mustard Seed Space.

Painkillers and Dousha came in from outside, discussing the side dishes for dinner. Dousha saw a thin book on the tea table in front of the owner, with a refreshing mint green cover. She walked forward quickly, somewhat excited: "Owner, is this a new book?"

Lu Yao leaned on the sofa, kneaded his eyebrows with his fingers, and nodded tiredly: "Yes, it will be on the shelves tomorrow."

Dousha: "Can I take a look first?"

Lu Yao: "Take a look, but don't tell your cellmates when you go back."

The new book is the first volume of "Seasonings" which has just been published. It is a thin book that can be read in less than five minutes at the speed of a robot.

The cover looks fresh and clean, and there are five illustrations specially drawn by Mei Xue and two colleagues on the inside pages.

Mei Xue finished reading the story before drawing the cover for "Seasonings" and showed it to her colleagues in the art group. After reading the book,

the three people's cooking powers exploded, and they couldn't restrain their thriving creative desire, so they asked Lu Yao for some information about robots, and in three days they rushed out five beautiful illustrations, all of which were put into the inner pages. Painkillers and Dousha each took a sample book, and they didn't even have time to eat, and sat down to read. After dealing with books all day, translating, proofreading, printing, and reprinting other books that had already been put on the shelves, Lu Yao was so tired that he lay on the sofa and didn't want to move. Lingliu came over with a plate of food, picked up the lunch box, held the tableware with his little paws, and considerately fed the owner. Life robots are the most common robots in the star field. One hundred and twenty years ago, they were used in hospitals and nursing homes in native settlements to replace human caregivers to care for patients and the elderly who had lost their ability to move. The scene of 06 feeding the store owner did not attract the attention of Painkillers and Dousha. Their eyes and attention were all focused on the book in front of them. Although it was a thin book, the two of them turned the pages very slowly, especially Dousha, who would occasionally flip back to the front quickly. The steel mask on his face was a customized fierce mask, but there was a strange light flashing in his mechanical eyes. When the prison guard came to pick them up, Painkillers was having dinner, and Dousha was still holding "Seasoning" and was reluctant to let go. Lu Yao urged him to eat, and invited the two prison guards to have dinner with him. 0544 immediately rejected the invitation, but 0496 was a little hesitant. She was really curious about the employee area behind the bookstore, and was also tempted by the dinner mentioned by the owner. However, under the "hold" of 0544's eyes, 0496 restrained his impulse. Five minutes later, two prison guards took away the volunteer clerk. On the airship, Dousha and Painkiller were a little dazed. One was savoring the "Seasoning" he had just finished reading, and the other was still thinking about the bowl of soup that he didn't have time to finish because the prison guards urged him too much. ---- Late at night, Harold arrived in Guandao from Alexandria on time. The limited-time mobile bookstore will enter the second area tonight. The Knight and AO-17 were transferred to the second area after the bookstore hijacking incident. Both of them had contact with Lu Yao, especially the Knight. His mechanical body was melted and restored by Lu Yao. The jailer did not find a way to remove Lu Yao's mental imprint, so the knight's mechanical body remained in its original state for the time being. Harold quickly sensed the knight's location, and before opening the door to the space, he looked down at Lingliu with some disgust: "Take it again?" Lingliu hid behind Lu Yao's legs, blinking his round eyes. Lu Yao: "It's okay, he's very good." Harold: "...This guy is small and stupid, and he can't help sell books. What's the point of bringing him along? It's so troublesome." Lingliu looked at Lu Yao eagerly. Lu Yao: "Oh, he's very well behaved." Harold seemed to see Mumu again, a little angry, and snorted: "If he is accidentally discovered, kick him out to take the blame." Lu Yao smiled: "Who doesn't know the mascot of the bookstore?" Zero Six was found in the cell of the second district, and the bookstore can be closed tomorrow for rectification. One man and one dragon walked into the door, arguing with a mini cleaning robot. Lu Yao was wearing thicker clothes this time. The moment he walked out of the door and entered the cell of the second district, he felt the bone-chilling cold again. This time the door was opened on the ground, and the light of the artificial moon leaked in from the fist-sized window hole and sprinkled on the cold floor. The room in the second district cell is nearly one-third smaller than the room in the third district. There is also a metal door in the shape of a railing inside the transparent laser barrier. Lu Yao stood in the shadows, observing the knight imprisoned inside through the gaps in the railings. The knight lay powerlessly on the bed, like a real armor, with a thin chain piercing his head and fixed to the wall behind him. The chain was as thick as Lu Yao's little finger, and the metal chain was wrapped with a layer of mental power. This thing may have passed through the knight's electronic computer, or it may be a tool to imprison the spiritual body. The second area is indeed different from the third area. Lu Yao asked the supervisor: "Is there any mobile surveillance in the second area?" The Dream System: "...It seems not, but there is something wrong with the chain." Lu Yao guessed correctly. The chain wrapped in mental power passed through the center of the prisoner's electronic computer and monitored the prisoner's mental body in real time. Once there was a mental fluctuation that exceeded the value, the prison guards would come to check immediately. Lu Yao stood there awkwardly for a while, tilted his head to look at Harold, and whispered: "Go in and take a look." The laser barrier and the special metal fence cut off the air, and the door that was not real or virtual was pushed open from the outside to the inside of the prison. On the cold metal bed, the paralyzed black armor moved. Lu Yao immediately stepped forward and grasped the chain that was gleaming slightly in the moonlight. The dark shadow darker than the night covered the spiritual power on the chain until the entire chain was infected by the shadow and no light was left. The knight's voice was hoarse and rough, and he could hardly hide his fear: "Who are you?" Who could sneak into the inner island prison of Guandao? Lu Yao lifted a little of the shadow, revealing the bookshelf, and said in a low voice: "The mobile bookstore is open for a limited time. Would you like to buy a book?" The knight almost thought he had heard it wrong. He looked down from the void and vaguely caught a glimpse of the owner's slender hands in the shadow. The dark mechanical armor trembled violently. The knight couldn't believe it was Lu Yao, so he thought about it carefully.

Apart from her, it seemed that no one else had the courage and ability.

It turned out that even a place like this could be entered without anyone in it. The knight seemed to finally understand that he had offended someone who should not be offended.

Seeing that the knight did not speak, Lu Yao stepped forward and repeated: "The mobile bookstore is open for a limited time. Would you like to buy a book?"

Countless thoughts flashed through the knight's mind, and he was very anxious.

His mental body was shaking so violently, why couldn't he hear the alarm of the prison guard's ward rounds?

Harold raised his leg and lightly kicked the knight's leg hanging on the edge of the bed: "Why doesn't this guy react?"

Lu Yao turned his head to look outside the corridor and listened attentively for a while.

Dream Fulfilling System: "No one is coming, hurry up!"

Lu Yao began to believe in her 6S-level mental value. A high-level psychic can indeed cover the ability of a low-level psychic.

She bent down slightly, emerged from the shadows, and stared at the knight: "Excuse me, would you like to buy a book?"

The moment he saw the owner clearly, the knight's mechanical eyes suddenly shrank into a thin line like a snake's pupil, and he was extremely terrified.

Fortunately, he seemed to suddenly understand the situation and nodded repeatedly: "Buy, buy, buy, I'll buy!!!"

Lu Yao smiled and retreated into the shadows, revealing half of the bookshelf: "Please feel free to pick out the books you like. By the way, this "Seasoning" is a new book that will be on the shelves soon. Do you want to buy one?"

There were dozens of books piled under the knight's feet, and his voice was broken: "Buy!!! Buy all!!!"

...

The mobile bookstore opened smoothly in the second district. At this time, the prisoners in the ninth cell on the third floor of the third district were waiting anxiously.

Are you here?

Not yet?

It was this time yesterday, why haven't you come tonight?
