330 The 12th Store
◎A place without God.◎
That feeling was not comfortable. The body slowly became heavy in a perceptible state. The back was bent, and the knees were painful to bend. It was laborious to straighten it. If she moved slightly, she could hear the sound of the old screw cap loosely screwed on the screw. It was not harsh, but annoying. Lu Yao
lowered her eyes. She seemed to have suddenly fallen into the accelerated chaos of time. The smooth back of her hand was carved with grooves at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was wrinkled like the bark of an old tree. She raised her hand and touched her face. The skin on her cheeks was loose and prickly.
Lu Yao took out a mirror from his pocket, and it reflected an old face with silver hair and surprised eyes.
Lu Yao: "What's going on?"
The Dream-Fulfilling System also noticed Lu Yao's change, panicked, and quickly calmed down: "S-level special missions are indeed different, the rules are so special."
Lu Yao: "You don't know what's going on, do you?"
The Dream-Fulfilling System felt guilty for some reason: "Nonsense! I am your system, born to realize your wishes, and I know everything about your past."
Lu Yao: "My voice is shaking. You only know my past, but not my future."
The Dream-Fulfilling System stopped talking.
When Lu Yao first saw herself in the mirror, she was indeed a little flustered. After looking at herself for a few more times, she couldn't help but smile: "It seems that even if I am old, I am still a spirited old lady."
The Dream Fulfillment System was a little panicked: "You still have the mind to joke!!!"
The Dream Fulfillment System knew that Lu Yao's time as a human had stopped at the age of 21. Before the wish came true, although she still moved like a normal person, had a body temperature, ate and drank normally, and even her hair and nails continued to grow, she would not age, let alone look like this now.
The new world, the new store, and the S-level special mission triggered by luck may not be as simple as it thought. There is no doubt that this mission is still a trap set to prevent Lu Yao from moving forward.
It was still naive.
Lu Yao raised his hands and bent them toward his back with great effort. He gently patted his stiff waist, held the door frame with one hand, and moved toward the door in small steps. Outside
the Xindian was a cement dam, which was not particularly flat and was next to a cement road that was not particularly wide. There were a few colorful wooden chairs placed on the edge of the dam, and melon seed shells and fruit peels were scattered all over the ground, as if someone had been sitting there chatting not long ago. Lu Yao
walked around the dam with his hands behind his back. On the outside of the highway below the dam, a crooked crabapple tree was in the process of budding, with pink and tender clusters on the branches, contrasting with the tender yellow rapeseed flowers in the terraced fields below the highway.
The sun was hanging in the east, and the dazzling light shone down obliquely.
Lu Yao stood for a while, then turned around and walked down the dam, onto the highway, and walked slowly along the narrow cement road.
The houses around were not densely packed, with two houses occasionally standing next to each other. Most of them were two-story self-built small villas, and there were also old-style houses with gray bricks and tiled roofs. It was surrounded by mountains
on all sides, and there was a dry river full of rocks at the foot of the opposite mountain.
After walking about four or five hundred meters along the road, Lu Yao saw an erected, unusually shaped stone at a fork in the road, with three characters engraved on the stone - Tonghua Town.
There were farmlands above and below the road. Lu Yao stood by the roadside and saw several figures buried in the fields, wearing colorful thin shirts and light yellow straw hats. Lu Yao
said in his heart, "Oh no!" This time, Xindian was going to fail.
The Dream Fulfilling System said without any expression: "This is a small town, a very small country town. To be fair, I think it is better than the initial situation of Stranglethorn Vale in the Nitean Continent and Guanyin Road in the Kingdom of Gold. At least there are stable residents here. Unfortunately, they are all elderly people and farmers. The store you want to open is absolutely not attractive to them. Even if they are really interested, they can't afford it." Lu
Yao stared at the rapeseed fields in the distance, stood silently for a long time, and then slowly turned around and walked back.
The facade of Lu Yao's new store in Tonghua Town is also a self-built small villa. On the door of the store hangs a sign with large and particularly bright fonts - Lu Yao's Robot Shop.
When she first got the clue, Lu Yao was thinking about the meaning of "Godless Land".
It can't be that all the power of God cannot be manifested in this world, right?
Lu Yao is always used to making the worst plan. What if all her half-body tokens of God, illusions, spells, superpowers, rules of discipline and shadows cannot be used in the world of Xindian? Putting aside the money power, the most effective power she can use is technology.
With this idea in mind, Lu Yao went to Guandao several times, fully inspected various high-tech products in the star domain market, and finally chose the robot category.
She decided to use high-tech intelligent robots as a selling point in Xindian, but she didn't expect to be given two big gifts at the beginning.
First, after entering Tonghua Town, Lu Yao aged rapidly, and his body functions degenerated to the same level as that of an ordinary old lady in her seventies or eighties. Second, the location of the new store was very tricky. The rural town with backward ideas, the elderly without a fixed income, and the farmers all put all of Lu Yao's previous ideas to waste.
Lu Yao stood at the door of the store, looked up at the sign, and slowly moved back to the store with his stiff legs. He
closed the door and opened it again. Lu Yao wanted to go back to the shopping street to reorganize his thoughts.
[Warning! Warning! Warning! The owner cannot leave the godless place before completing the task!]
[Warning! Warning! Warning! The owner cannot leave the godless place before completing the task!]
[Warning! Warning! Warning! The owner cannot leave the godless place before completing the task!] [Warning! Warning! Warning! The owner cannot leave the godless place before completing the task! Lu Yao
stood in front of the star gate, raised her feet, but could not step out. The system prompt sound in her head kept repeating.
Dream Fulfillment System: "Trap! Trap! It must be a trap! They want to trap you here!"
Lu Yao was not as hysterical as the Dream Fulfillment System, and clicked on the new store mission email on the system interface.
The original description of the mission was "If you fail to complete the mission, you will wander in the godless land forever", but the reality was that she could not cross the star gate and return to the Yaoguang City after entering the godless land.
After repeatedly confirming the mission description and the current situation, Lu Yao quietly put down her feet, retreated to the corner, and took out one half-body token after another from her personal storage. The finger bones of the demon god still had power, and even gave her an inexplicable feeling of increased power. As she guessed, the power of the other half-body tokens was suppressed and almost unfeeling.
At the same time, the illusions that Lu Yao learned in the Dreamland, the magic learned in the Alexandria Continent, the superpowers obtained in Sanhua City, and the spells learned in the Floating World Continent could not be used in the godless land.
Even the power of the Ruler of Rules and Precepts was suppressed, and now it can only be used as steel bars for self-defense.
The shadows hidden in Lu Yao's shadow were not abnormal. They followed Lu Yao as usual, but they were no longer restless. Like real shadows, they hid in the deepest darkness.
Lu Yao took out various props from his portable warehouse. Magic props and props made by instrument refiners were useless here. The Qiankun bag was ineffective, and the ghost bracelet that relied on the owner's ability became a silver bracelet for decoration. The space ring purchased from the star field was still useful.
A series of blows and this tiny bit of hope showed that Lu Yao's analysis of the mission clues was not wrong. She just didn't expect the conditions of this mission to be so harsh.
Lu Yao seemed to have returned to the time when she first came to the shopping street, with only a portable warehouse and an unreliable system on her body.
In the past two years, she had put in countless efforts and received countless help and blessings, but now all of them were taken back.
In comparison, the current situation really made her feel uncomfortable.
Lu Yao opened the door and went out, dragged a chair from the ground and went back to the store, sitting facing the wall.
About half an hour later, Lu Yao stood up again and took out his mobile phone.
Lu Yao first called Ji Feiming.
The call was quickly connected. The old voice made Ji Feiming hesitate for a moment. After confirming that the caller was the owner, he picked up the phone again: "Owner, is that you?"
Lu Yao: "It's me. I'm in the Xindian store now. You and Zhixin will come over later. Don't come in. Knock on the door and stand outside. I have something to tell you."
After ending the call, Lu Yao called the deputy manager of the bookstore, Ya Luan.
This time he called directly via video.
The video was quickly connected. The young man who appeared on Lu Yao's mobile phone screen had tough features, black hair, and was wearing a bookstore work uniform. His eyes were calm, and he inexplicably gave people a sense of stability.
But after seeing the owner's appearance at this time, the young man's stable temperament instantly collapsed like a mirror image.
Ya Luan was so frightened that he dropped his phone on the table. He then leaned over the table, his handsome face pressed against the screen, and he looked completely unsteady: "Shopkeeper, how did you become like this?"
The bookstore had resumed normal business after a long period of closure.
This day happened to be the day when the prisoners in the Central District 3 were allowed to go out for exercise, which happens only every fifteen days. The bookstore was crowded with customers. Upon hearing the inappropriate scream, a customer quietly moved behind Ya Luan. With the help of the robot's tall body, he could see his phone screen clearly by slightly lowering his eyes.
Ya Luan noticed someone peeping at him, and reacted very quickly to pick up the phone.
Despite the excellent performance of the electronic eye, a few customers still spotted the owner.
Xi rushed to Yaluan and said, "Was that the owner just now? Why does he look like that?"
The owner on the screen had short silver hair, wrinkles on his face, and loose skin, but his eyes were bright and lively, with a slight curve, which made people happy.
They really hadn't seen the owner in the store for a long time, and never thought that she had aged so fast.
Yaluan didn't answer, walked around the stream, turned around and wanted to go to the back of the bookstore, but heard the owner ask him to find a corner to talk.
The phone was connected to the area with a physical store space on the shopping street. After Yaluan officially became the deputy manager, he found out that there were some artificial alien spaces in the staff rest area and warehouse area of the bookstore.
Ya Luan learned a lot about the store owner and the shopping street from the intranet system in his mobile phone. He didn't sleep well for a few days at first, and he would swipe his phone frantically during breaks.
After several days, he slowly adapted.
Ya Luan turned around and walked to the second floor.
There is a part of the physical store on the second floor of the bookstore.
Lu Yao chatted with Ya Luan for more than twenty minutes. Because she couldn't leave the twelfth store now, she could only ask Ya Luan to help her contact 0815, and the matter of purchasing robots could only be entrusted to him.
The main business had been determined before the opening of the Star Gate. Even if there was no market for robots in Tonghua Town and the people here couldn't afford such expensive things, Lu Yao couldn't change his mind.
The robot shop must be opened.
Lu Yao had just finished a video conference with Yaluan, and Ji Feiming and Ji Zhixin also came over.
The two stood at the door with dull eyes. Lu
Yao took two steps back, smiled and waved his hand: "Why do you all look like this?"
Ji Zhixin came to his senses first and subconsciously wanted to go in.
Lu Yao stopped him: "Don't move. This store is connected to a world called 'Land Without God'. I don't know if I am the only one who will become like this, or if everyone is like this, so don't come in casually."
Facing the worried looks of Ji Zhixin and Ji Feiming, Lu Yao was particularly calm: "Don't worry about me. It's just that for some reasons, I can't leave this store for the time being. Inform the clerks of each store to contact me online if they have anything. If you really need to meet in person, come to find me, but don't enter the store. The goods in this store come from the star field. I will contact Harold to go to the star field to prepare, and then Xiao Ji will pick up the goods at the bookstore and deliver them over."
Lu Yao gave instructions on several important matters at the moment, and contacted the clerk of the nail salon online.
Lu Yao suspected that Harold could not pass through the time and space gate to the Godless Land, and was also worried that he would come here and become like her, so he informed Si Jin, Ambrose and Clarissa in advance to look after him.
Then Lu Yao contacted the staff of the snack bar and asked them to invite the captain of the park's guard.
Lu Yao wanted to know why only the finger bones of the devil could still demonstrate divine power in the Godless Land.
