5 The Seventh Store
◎If you want to be rich, build roads first.◎
The agent robot is very conscientious and always urges the store owner to complete tasks.
Lu Yao ignored the new task for the time being and returned to the store. She first changed the bed and bathrobe in Room 201, cleaned the room inside and out, disinfected it, and rearranged it properly.
After finishing the chores, she sat down and took out the items that the Nittian man used to pay the room rent last night from her portable warehouse. The fragments of yellow crystals had condensed into a whole piece, about half the size of her little finger. The name of the item was displayed on the warehouse grid as "candy block".
It's too small, and it's completely useless at the moment.
Lu Yao put the candy block back into the warehouse, licked his fingertips, and was slightly surprised.
It's very sweet, and there's a strange fruity flavor.
This candy block must be very precious in the world of the Nitians.
It seems that it is not cheap for the dwarfs to stay in her hotel for one night.
There are also two mission rewards in the warehouse - a yangtangerine and a calamus.
The yangtangerine is like a stunted tangerine, with a dry and shriveled fruit, only the size of her thumb. It is hard when pinched, and has a particularly pungent sour smell that makes people swallow their saliva.
The leaves of the calamus are slender and emerald green. The appearance is no different from the calamus she knows, but the plant is particularly small, almost only two centimeters long.
Lu Yao didn't know what these two rewards were for, and she asked the agent robot but got no response, so she put them aside and thought about new ways to attract customers.
Before leaving, Gan Li said that the valley around the inn was called Thorn Valley. It was surrounded by thorns and had deep snow, making it very difficult to walk. Experienced dwarfs would not come here.
She appeared here because she wanted to find a plant that grew on thorny vines along the way, but she got lost and almost couldn't get out.
If she hadn't been attracted by the bowl of hot soup halfway, she didn't know how long she would have wandered around.
Lu Yao walked to the door of the inn and re-observed the surrounding environment, thoughtfully.
Most of the dwarfs are about ten centimeters tall and have limited vision.
Even though the inn has a large floor space, they are trapped in the thorn bushes and it is difficult to see the houses in the distance.
The road in Thorn Valley is indeed difficult to walk. Not to mention that the dwarfs are unwilling to come, Lu Yao also feels a headache when he goes out.
A hotel in a desolate mountain valley wants to attract customers. The easiest way is to make the store conspicuous and attract customers to pass by the store.
This situation is similar to the closed mountain villages in the future. Lu Yao almost intuitively thought: If you want to be rich, build roads first.
She wants to open a hotel, does she have to build a road first?
Lu Yao initially planned to use the garbage disposal machine of the furry shop to clean up the snow and thorny vines around the hotel, so that the road would be easier to walk on. But when she took out the machine, she got a prompt that it was "unable to use".
The reason is that these snow and vines are part of the natural environment and cannot be judged as "garbage".
Lu Yao wordlessly put away the garbage disposal machine, and simply used offensive dark magic to cut down all the thorny vines around the inn, and then asked the clerk of the cinema to buy a few large brooms from the street. The broom
handles were made of long bamboo tips, as big as a bowl, tied tightly with narrow bamboo strips, and a three-finger-thick wooden stick was inserted into the end of the handle. It was particularly powerful for sweeping the wet snow.
Lu Yao swept away the snow and thorny vines around, and found a kind of stone that looked like sesame candy under the snow. She picked up a basket of them and cut them into stone slabs of appropriate width.
She planned to first pave a stone road from east to west.
This path passed in front of the inn and extended all the way to the original outskirts of Stranglethorn Vale.
In the afternoon, Harold and Budu, who had finished their appointment at the nail salon, came to help.
Lu Yao handed the slate materials to Harold, and she began to prepare for another thing - making a fence.
There was only snow and barren mountains around Stranglethorn Vale, which was desolate and monotonous. Lu Yao wanted to make a row of fences on both sides of the inn, and then make some eye-catching and interesting decorations to attract the passing dwarfs. Before
making the fence, Lu Yao took out a stack of colored cardboard that had been enhanced with magic and taught Budu how to fold a windmill.
The enchanted cardboard is not afraid of wind and snow, and will not be easily deformed.
Cut the four corners along the diagonal line of the cardboard, pinch the corners and fold them to the middle in order, and then nail them on the small stick with round-headed nails, and a windmill is folded.
Budu got the task of folding the windmill, and finally stopped looking at Harold with envy.
Luyao got up and went outside to build a fence, using polished wooden sticks and bamboo strips.
When the fence was built, she and Budu fixed the finished decorations on the fence.
The three of them had black technology, and when the moon appeared from the sky, a flat path from east to west ran across the Stranglethorn Vale.
Luyao stuck a red paper windmill and a signpost on the hillside, and turned around and walked back with Budu: "That's all for today, let's go home."
Harold put away his tools and waited for the two to approach: "Will this really attract guests?"
After a long time of shoveling snow and paving the road, the view around the inn was widened, and it really stood out in the monotonous snow scene.
Without the thorn bushes, the road was easier to walk on, but the fundamental problem was still not solved.
This place was too far from the place where the dwarfs lived, and whether or not he could meet a passing traveler depended entirely on luck.
Lu Yao was not completely sure, but he had opened so many stores in succession, so he had some experience: "When the nail salon opened, there was no customer in the first three days."
Harold thought that later a giant dragon "walked into the trap" and first made the nail salon popular among the dragons.
Thinking of this, he felt that this hotel had little hope. The Nitian continent was completely different from the Alexandrian continent. There were no dragons here who were more curious than cats, and even the concept of a store was still vague.
Lu Yao patted Harold on the back and soothed him, "Everything depends on human effort. If this method doesn't work, we can think of another plan tomorrow."
Harold was not the type who liked to get entangled.
Even if the store was ruined, it wouldn't be a big deal.
But in Harold's impression, Lu Yao rarely made mistakes. When she said so, he believed it.
After dinner, the three continued to build the building block hotel.
---
Outside the Stranglethorn Vale, a team of three was charging in the snow.
Monk whipped the red pig mount with a straw whip, and a bright light flashed in his eyes: "Hurry, I remember it's just ahead!"
Zhuangyu rolled his eyes and said, "How many times have you said that? Yet you keep wandering around Stranglethorn Vale."
Dada said on the other side, "Let's find a tree hole to rest first? There might be a heavy snowfall at night."
Monk said nothing.
Because of the loss of the food and clothes that Luyao had given him, no matter how Monk explained, his companions in the tribe did not believe his bizarre encounter with an adult human.
Zhuangyu and Dada grew up with Monk since childhood. Seeing him standing alone in the snow and sulking, they agreed to accompany him out of helplessness.
As a result, Monk took them to run in the snow for two days and two nights, but found nothing and got lost near Stranglethorn Vale.
The so-called adult human and the pile of food must have been an illusion that Monk saw when he was on the verge of despair.
He mistook the illusion for something he had experienced.
Zhuangyu also tactfully suggested: "Find a place to rest for a night, avoid the wind and snow, and go back at dawn."
They accompanied Monk out for this run, and it was time for him to give up.
Monk's eyebrows were raised, and he pursed his lips with a look of dissatisfaction. He swung the straw whip hard and distanced himself from them.
Suddenly, Monk tightened the rope and stopped on a gentle slope. His tense face softened a little, and then turned into excitement: "I found it!"
Zhuangyu and Dada looked at each other and sped up to catch up.
"Wow-wow-wow-"
Before the two of them got close, they heard a strange sound in the wind.
After a short distance, Monk kept looking back: "Hurry up, the long-distance inn is just ahead."
Dada and Zhuangyu finally climbed up the gentle slope and saw the huge house standing in the lonely valley. Their eyes slowly widened, full of disbelief.
Where Monk stood, there was a small wooden board, just the right height for the dwarfs to notice, pointing to the big house in the center of the valley.
There were some strange "vines" entwined on the board, and its "flowers and leaves" emitted a warm yellow light in the night.
Following the direction of the arrow, the "vines" climbed on the tall fence and extended all the way to the door of the inn.
The bright and fragmented light scattered in the snowy night, like the starry sky in the peak of the sun, attracting people to go there.
Monk's eyes were full of excitement. He drove the red pig down the gentle slope and stepped onto the stone road. He looked around curiously: "When I left, it was full of thorns. I got stabbed when I wasn't careful. It must be that Lu Yao cut down the thorns and paved this road."
The stone road and the fences with strings of lights and windmills along the way were made according to the size of normal humans, which is more conspicuous.
But a circle of smaller incandescent lights was specially wrapped around the ground ten centimeters away, and there were smaller windmills dotted in between.
The little Nitian walked in the middle of the road and felt that it was spacious and bright. Zhuangyu
followed Monk, looking around, and didn't say anything for a while.
Dada was a little scared, and the closer he walked to the inn, the more suspicious he looked.
At this point, he already believed that Monk had met an adult.
But with Stranglethorn Vale in this state, how strong are the adults? The
windmill on the fence whistled in the wind and snow, and Dada drove the red pig to speed up, trying to get closer to Monk.
Monk didn't notice Dada at all, and drove the piglet under him hard and ran straight to the door of the inn.
Dada had to call out to Zhuangyu: "Are we really going over there?"
Zhuangyu turned around and looked at him: "Are you scared?"
The little people in the red pig tribe are naturally brave and good at hunting, and most of them have rough personalities.
Dada is a little different. He is meticulous and timid, and he was often ridiculed by little people of his age when he was young.
Monk and Chuangyu are his few friends.
Dada held the straw rope tightly in front of him with both hands and shook his head vigorously: "Don't be afraid."
At the door of the hotel, Monk had already walked under the eaves and shouted to his two companions: "Hurry up, it's here."
There were three low doors under the huge door of the hotel, like door holes reserved for cats, and a small golden bell was hung on the upper left corner of the door frame.
When the two companions finally came, Monk pushed open the middle door and walked in with the piglet, as if he was going back to his own home: "It's a long way!"
The bell at the corner of the door rang, and Chuangyu and Dada were a little startled. They hesitated for a while before following in. When they looked up, they saw Monk standing in the palm of a giant taller than a mountain, tilting his head and talking to each other in a familiar way.
He is a real tiger.
Monk thought of his companions, turned around and pointed at the two of them and introduced them: "This is Zhuangyu and Dada."
Lu Yao put Monk down and stretched out his finger to the two of them: "Hello, my name is Lu Yao, and I'm the adult who runs this inn."
The little man wrapped in beige fur and with a horn mark under his right eye hesitated for a moment, stretched out his finger and touched Lu Yao lightly: "My name is Zhuangyu."
Dada hid behind Zhuangyu and stretched out a finger tremblingly: "Dada." Lu
Yao turned around and called Harold and Budu, introducing them: "Harold and Lu Budu."
The goblins of Alexandria are almost the same size as the Netan men. Harold is not very interested in the Netan men themselves. He just likes to see these little guys live in the building block houses he built.
Seeing fear in the eyes of the two new people, he said hello and went back to continue building with building blocks.
Budu liked the Nittian people, but he was more concerned about the half-built new room, so they didn't talk much after saying hello.
Their lack of interest made Dada and Zhuangyu, who were seeing adults for the first time, feel relieved and no longer trembling.
Monk turned around and came back, his face full of surprise: "It has completely changed!"
Lu Yao took the opportunity to introduce the services of the hotel, and Monk immediately said: "I want to stay here tonight! Where is my mountain of food?"
Before checking in, he remembered to check the food stored with Lu Yao. Lu
Yao pulled out a sealed bag from under the kitchen counter: "Here."
Dada exclaimed: "It's really a small mountain!"
Monk couldn't help but reveal a smug look, and emphasized: "I've said it many times, but you don't believe me!"
