57 The Eighth Store
◎Little sparrows, how can you beat them?◎
Lu Yao measured the space inside the Internet cafe, drew a decoration diagram, and then wove magic circles according to the desired effect.
Countless magic circles were connected together to form a magic circle group. When the magic was activated, the interior decoration was completed in an instant.
As long as the preparations are sufficient in the early stage, the effect presented after the decoration is not inferior to system maintenance.
That afternoon, the soft decoration of the store was completed.
Lu Yao referred to the style of Internet cafes more than ten years ago. The bar counter is right after the door, and the office area of the network administrator is where guests have to register and turn on the computer.
There are ten machines in the lobby, five on each side.
There are two separate rooms against the wall, each with a computer, soundproofed by glass, and curtains on three sides, making the space more private.
Twelve of the fifteen machines purchased in the early stage were used, and the remaining three were the backstage mainframes, which were also Cheng Ye's work area.
Turning left from the room is the restroom.
The overall decoration inside the Internet cafe is so simple.
In the afternoon, Cheng Ye entered to install the computers.
The Super Time and Space Internet Cafe needs to be connected to the network of the shopping street, but the whole world cannot be completely open to the floating world mainland, so a protective wall needs to be set up.
Lu Yao also incorporated the management of the Super Time and Space Internet Cafe into the internal network of the shopping street. There are technical personnel from both Budu and Dream Country in the backstage.
She asked Cheng Ye to set up another protective wall under these two levels of supervision.
The venue was not large, and Cheng Ye installed all the machines that day, working until after ten o'clock in the evening.
He had no place to live, so he slept in the staff office temporarily.
There was a lounge with beds in the staff office, and the post-production team of the cinema sometimes slept here when they were too busy.
Cheng Ye would stay for a few days, and when he officially joined the company, Lu Yao would expand the lounge in the Internet cafe.
The next day, Cheng Ye stayed in the store to debug the machines.
Lu Yao called Harold and prepared to go to Buxian Town.
The Internet cafe would open the day after tomorrow. For the residents of Fushi Continent, this was a new thing and must be promoted.
The location of the store was so bad that Lu Yao had a hunch that the main customers of the Internet cafe might not be humans.
Lu Yao was worried about Cheng Ye staying alone in the store, so he called Budu to come and watch over.
When Cheng Ye first saw the child with silver hair and red eyes, she thought he was a monster from the Floating World Continent.
Lu Yao and Harold both laughed and did not explain.

Buxian Town is a remote town. Because of the existence of Hengze Sect, there is also a simple teleportation array in the town.
By paying spirit stones, you can take the teleportation array to other places.
The town also sells a kind of teleportation scroll that can teleport people to a fixed location.
Lu Yao has no spirit stones, so he can't buy the materials to make the teleportation array, nor can he buy a teleportation scroll.
She thought about exchanging some novel items from other worlds for some spirit stones, but this town is too poor. Not only can she not afford the price of things, but she will also be scolded as a liar.
Alexandria also has teleportation arrays and magic scrolls with similar functions. Lu Yao brought Harold to the town for the purpose of "learning skills".
She planned to imitate the teleportation array in Buxian Town, build a magic teleportation array at the entrance of the Internet cafe, and then imitate the teleportation scrolls in the town to make a batch of magic scrolls of the same style.
This method is a bit dishonest, but it saves trouble.
You don't have to go to the trouble of getting spiritual stones, and you can achieve the desired effect.
The Internet cafe in their house is really located in a remote place.
Without a teleportation array, who would be willing to go there?
You have to find a way to deceive... cough, attract the first person to try it.
This time when they went out, Lu Yao and Harold used magic to change their clothes, dressed like monks, so that they would not attract attention when walking on the street, and no one would come forward to cause trouble.
They had a clear goal and figured out the general details of the teleportation array and the teleportation scroll. They also walked around the town and listened to some gossip before returning.
Back at the Internet cafe, Harold was in charge of making the teleportation array at the door.
Lu Yao sat behind the bar and made the teleportation scroll.
The sparrow cage was placed on the bar. After all, they were spiritual creatures. They found that they could not fight Lu Yao, nor could they escape, so they became much more obedient. They
stood in rows on the horizontal bar, tilted their heads to observe Lu Yao, and occasionally called out.
Without touching them, Lu Yao could not hear their voices, and did not know what they were saying.
"She can make a teleportation array?"
"How is that possible? Doesn't she have no cultivation?"
"Strange!"
Lu Yao made a stack of teleportation scrolls that were fixed to the Internet cafe, and then began to make another item - an opening bonus, a coupon for three days of free Internet access.
The sparrow spirits were confused and couldn't understand what Lu Yao was doing.
At noon, Lu Yao and Cheng Ye had lunch in the staff office, and the three people in the post-production group were also together.
They wanted to hear about the progress at the Internet cafe, and maybe they could hear some anecdotes about the world of cultivation.
Lu Yao: "Is the machine almost debugged?"
Cheng Ye nodded: "Yes, the things you want are very simple. There is basically nothing to do in the afternoon."
Lu Yao: "I will give you a new task in the afternoon."
Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows: "What?"
Lu Yao said a few words in a low voice.
Cheng Ye and the three people in the post-production group were all confused, not knowing her intentions.
Lu Yao looked at the three people in the backstage: "How about you guys pretend to be guests and go over there later, play a few games and then come back?"
Gauss was a little excited: "We can
do that too?" Lu Yao: "Well, just pretend, I'll take you over."
---
After lunch break, Cheng Ye returned to the Internet cafe alone.
He followed Lu Yao's instructions and hung the sparrow cage on the shelf behind the bar.
There is a five-layer shelf and a freezer behind the bar, where they will sell instant noodles, starch sausage, chewing gum and water.
Regardless of what the customers think, their Internet cafe has a full sense of age and atmosphere.
Cheng Ye turned around and sat in front of a host computer at the bar, turned it on, clicked on the 6399 mini-game interface, and found a stand-alone mini-game called "Bubble Hall".
The gameplay of this game is simple. Players control a character through the keyboard and mouse, constantly placing bombs on the map, and then find a place to hide.
After the bomb explodes, sometimes equipment, shoes, or some kind of potion will drop.
The character controlled by the player will become stronger after eating these equipment.
After eating potions, the power of the bomb will become stronger and stronger.
After eating shoes, the character will run very fast.
After completing a map, the character will enter the next more difficult map.
Cheng Ye hadn't played this kind of game for many years. It was full of childhood memories. It wasn't difficult to play, but it wasn't as boring as he imagined.
The sparrows in the cage were crowded together, staring at the screen in front of Cheng Ye.
"What is he doing?"
"Why are the little things in the box moving?"
Cheng Ye played like this for half an hour, and Lu Yao finally brought the late-stage trio over.
Lu Yao called out at the door: "Network administrator, turn on three machines."
Cheng Ye stood up and said casually: "Ten medium-grade spirit stones for one hour."
Gauss and the other two took out a handful of colorful "spiritual stones" from their bags, took their numbers and sat down. Lu
Yao walked behind the bar, took the bird cage and hung it on the opposite wall.
This position was just right to see the game interface of the three guests.
Gauss also entered the 6399 mini-game interface and clicked on a game he particularly liked to play when he was a child - Soul Fight, where a pixelated man carried a wooden cannon and went through the levels alone.
Gao Meng hadn't played games on the computer for a long time. He saw a familiar mini-game among the many game icons and clicked on it without hesitation.
The classic game character wearing blue overalls and a red hat appeared on the screen, and Gao Meng clumsily controlled him to go through the levels.
Liu Tang sat next to Gao Meng. He was playing a puzzle tower defense game, constantly placing pea shooters in front of his house to repel the endless zombies.
The three people deliberately didn't wear headphones, and turned the volume up to the maximum and placed them on the table.
The little sparrow spirits were trapped in the cage, stretching their heads to look out, trying desperately to see what they were playing.
Cheng Ye was sitting behind the bar and saw this scene, and suddenly understood the owner's intention.
Although the little sparrow spirits failed to transform, they were all intelligent and would naturally be attracted to new things.
They saw the clerk playing games, and they couldn't hide their curiosity. At this time, they huddled together, and their fur stuck out from the narrow gaps in the bird cages. It looked funny and a little pitiful.
The three people in the later group left before the time came, leaving the game interface on the machine open. Lu Yao
walked over, chose a seat in the middle, sat down, and continued to play.
The little sparrow spirits saw her and immediately started chirping.
They had tried to attract the attention of the customers before, but those people, like the deaf man, ignored them.
When they were almost screaming in despair, Lu Yao got up and took down the bird cage and put it in front of the computer: "Want to play this?"
The little sparrow spirits didn't know the meaning of "human heart is treacherous" at this time, and thought that if they agreed to Lu Yao, he would let them play and brush their heads.
Lu Yao: "You need to pay spirit stones to go to the Internet cafe, do you have any?"
The little sparrow spirits were stunned. Those people just gave spirit stones to the network administrator.
They are all local sparrows in the mountains. They will fight for a cake with a little spirit. How can they get spirit stones
? Lu Yao: "You don't think you can pick up a girlfriend in my shop?"
"..." The little sparrow spirit shook his head violently.
Lu Yao: "What should I do?"
The sparrow spirits were worried.
They wanted to pick up a girlfriend, but they couldn't beat her.
Lu Yao took out the prepared magic scroll and free coupons: "I have a suggestion."
Doudou looked over at him.
Did this woman have a guilty conscience?
Lu Yao tapped the things on the table with his fingers: "Take these scrolls and coupons to find people. If you attract a customer, I will let you surf the Internet for an hour."
Cheng Ye watched the little sparrow fly out of the cage, try to pick up the scroll and fly out the door, and almost couldn't help clapping for the owner.
Too skilled.
Lu Yao was still waving at the door: "Remember, the Internet cafe will open the day after tomorrow, don't make a mistake."
Cheng Ye: "..."
Little sparrow, how can you beat them?

The preparations are almost done, and Lu Yao has time to continue screening resumes.
In addition to Ji Qingyan, other employees also recommended candidates, and their resumes were sent to her mailbox.
Cheng Ye's ability is not inflated, but his illness is a problem.
The work in the Internet cafe is not easy, and there are night shifts.
Lu Yao plans to recruit two more people, three people in shifts, with less workload, and she also wants to recruit employees with other specialties.
Lu Yao picked out the candidates she thought were suitable and asked the introducer to notify the other party to come to the shopping street for an interview.
After experiencing Bai Lu's job search, Lu Yao privately reflected that the previous application method began to show its drawbacks, and sometimes the right employees would be missed. When
recruiting new employees for the new store, Lu Yao tried to put the application location in the shopping street, adopting a more transparent method than before, and choose each other.
If it is suitable, you will stay, and if it is not suitable, you will still be bound by a confidentiality agreement.
This method may also expose other problems in the future. Lu Yao is still exploring and will adjust it according to the situation.
After the successful construction of the intranet system, many things became convenient. This is a new trump card for Lu Yao.
Lu Yao picked out two people from a pile of resumes and sent them interview notices.
The next day, Lu Yao's Chao Shikong Internet Cafe officially opened for business.
[Author's words]
Note: The mini-games that appear in this chapter are the stand-alone version of Bubble Hall, Soul Fighter, Super Mario, and Plants vs. Zombies.

At the beginning, Lu Yao got a clue about the new store: Don't bother with the ascension?
Many years later, the store owner: I mean no one should even think about ascending!
