71 ? The eighth store

71 The Eighth Store

◎What bad intentions could the store owner have?◎

Ji Zhuang left.

When he left, his face was ugly, as if he was very angry, but it made him look less gloomy.

Lu Yao didn't bother to care and turned to deal with the broken stalls in the store.

The monsters and the demons fought and smashed the store.

Lu Yao controlled the situation and the store suffered secondary damage.

Bu Du fought with the demon king, but they only managed a few moves and all the major parts of the store were damaged.

Bu Du's emotions calmed down, and the snowstorm that appeared out of nowhere disappeared.

He lowered his head with a guilty conscience: "Mother, I'm sorry."

Zhong Lianjia hid behind the bar and heard the word "mother" clearly. He had a novel feeling of "asking for a hammer and getting a hammer", but turned around and felt strange again.

Why didn't Bu Du call the owner "mother" instead of "mom".

It's just a title, but the former is formal and written, while the latter is more colloquial.

In daily life, calling "mother" directly is always a bit awkward.

Lu Yao saw that Bu Du's legs and the hand that had just held the blade were translucent, and there was a puddle of water on the ground. He didn't care about other things, bent down, picked up Bu Du and walked towards the door.

Her slightly anxious voice followed: "You are melting again, let's go back to the ice house first."

Zhong Lianjia:...What does "melting" mean?

The monsters paid the "ransom" to escape, but Xuanfeng and Mobao were still trapped in the cage.

Mobao blinked his blood-red eyes and looked straight at Budu who was carried out by Lu Yao, with a hint of envy in his heart. Xuanfeng's

eyes flashed with deep thought, where is the woman going to take the monster?

Isn't it a wild forest outside?

Lu Yao sent Budu to the hot spring hotel, took out the magic wand again, and carved a magic circle of forced cooling in the four corners of his room.

Lu Yao herself only has two magic attributes, light and dark, but the alien clerk at the nail salon collected materials for her to make a nine-treasure magic wand.

The Nine Treasures Wand is based on nine artifact-level magic stones. The material of the wand comes from a kind of rock in the deepest part of the magma in the ground. It is extremely hard and has a good compatibility with dark magic.

This wand can not only greatly improve the user's ability, but with the help of the wand, the user can also use magic of other attributes in a short period of time.

The new storefront is opened in the world of cultivation. Lu Yao must be prepared privately and focused on practicing several offensive magics.

Sure enough, the store was used within a few days of opening.

Lu Yao remembered the thick stack of books on magic principles in the portable warehouse, and she would read them more when she had time. She

should also find opportunities to try to learn and understand the spells, elixirs, and refining tools in the world of cultivation.

She may not be able to cultivate immortals, but she cannot be ignorant.

Lu Yao sat down next to Bu Du: "You came just in time today, but is your body okay?"

Bu Du had just been carried back by Lu Yao, and sat on the ice bed to watch her busying around. His heart was filled with joy, and he shook his head nonchalantly: "Protecting my mother is the meaning of my existence."

Lu Yao touched Bu Du's short silver hair and sighed silently: "I know."

The temperature in the room dropped, and Bu Du's hands and feet returned to their physical state.

Lu Yao sat with Bu Du for a while before returning to the Internet cafe.

Zhong Lianjia was working hard to clean the store. The computers and tables were completely destroyed, so he just cleaned up the debris.

There was no other way to deal with this store except to rebuild it.

Lu Yao came in from the door, told Xiao Zhong not to get busy, turned around and walked to the middle of the hall: "What are you two going to do?"

Xuanfeng had been in the demon world for too long, and he left in a hurry, so he didn't think of bringing more spirit stones. How long

would it take for the magic treasure to find humans to fight? It only takes some time to find someone

, and the fight will be decided in a matter of minutes.

Demon cultivators rely on magic energy to cultivate, and when they come to the human world, they like to absorb the evil power of humans, and all emotions can be used as food.

They are not like humans and monsters, they don't need grains and don't like to stay in the human world.

Xuanfeng thought it was okay without spirit stones, but he didn't expect to encounter such a dilemma?

Those monsters took out the spirit stones to pay compensation and were released, but he and the magic treasure were left with nothing in their pockets, and they couldn't escape, which was simply a loss of face.

Tornado was too embarrassed to speak.

Mobao jumped off Tornado, landed on the ground, and transformed into a child with black hair and red eyes: "Where is the man with blue eyes?"

Lu Yao: "Are you asking about Harold?"

Mobao: "His name is Harold? Yes, call him out, I will avenge him."

Tornado thought that Mobao was still a little scheming. When they get out of this cage, who in heaven and on earth will allow this little human to have a say?

Lu Yao: "Harold went to school and will be back in the evening. Don't you need to go to school at your age?"

Mobao raised his face: "Do you think demons are as stupid as humans?"

Lu Yao: "I don't know whether demons are stupid or not, but if you two don't pay, don't even think about getting out."

Tornado & Mobao: "..."

This human is simply stubborn.

Tornado: "We left in a hurry and forgot to bring the spirit stones. Let us out first, and we will go back to the Demon Realm to get the spirit stones.

We will never break our promise." Lu Yao knocked lightly on the prison pillar, unmoved: "If you run away, where can I find you? This matter was caused by you two, but you don't have the spirit stones to pay off the debt. I am not an unreasonable person. How about this, you sign a fourteen-day short-term labor contract with me to pay off the debt with work."

Tornado: "...You mean you want us to work in your store?"

Lu Yao nodded: "Yes, after fourteen days, the debt will be canceled."

Even the demons dared to detain us to work for her, what else would she not dare to do?

Tornado really didn't expect that he would suffer such a big setback after coming to the human world.

The situation was pressing, and after repeated consideration, it seemed that he could only act according to her request.

Whirlwind and Mobao reluctantly signed a contract with Luyao.

Lu Yao put away the contract, lifted the magic, and said casually: "If you run away, I will take these two contracts to the Demon Realm to seek justice. Little Monster should understand Harold's ability."

Mobao was angry and said: "My name is Mobao, not Little Monster. It's just fourteen days? Who would run away!"

Xuanfeng sighed. It is always very troublesome for demons, monsters, goblins, monsters, and spirit beasts to sign contracts with humans. They cannot be violated easily, otherwise they will be retaliated.

They will not run away if they can cancel the contract by enduring humiliation for fourteen days.

The compensation issue was finally sorted out. Lu Yao's portable warehouse had a pile of spirit stones and two free short-term clerks.

Lu Yao clicked on the real-time map of the system panel. The compensation he just received was not included in the operating income of the Internet cafe.

It seems that this can only be regarded as a windfall, and will not advance the progress of the task.

Zhong Lianjia patiently waited for Lu Yao to finish the negotiation. Seeing that there were two more colleagues, he felt a little relieved.

The store was in such a terrible state. With two more people, it would be faster to clean up.

It would take at least half a month to clean up the debris, renovate the store, and buy more computers.

Because of the fight, the owner beat up the customers from both the demons and the monsters. By the time the business resumed, I am afraid that the customers would have been lost.

For the Internet cafe, the loss this time was really serious.

-

Lu Yao took out the magic wand from his personal storage again and walked to the middle of the ruined store: "You three, and Little Sparrow, move aside a little."

They didn't know what the owner was going to do next, but they all retreated to the back of the bar - the last relatively intact area in the store.

Lu Yao raised the magic wand and drew a formation in the air. The golden gem on the top of the magic wand lit up.

The activated magic light formation was suspended in the air, and the circular formation slowly expanded. The debris and gravel on the ground flew up and returned to their original place.

In less than two minutes, the dilapidated store that was smashed to pieces by the two demon tribes, ravaged by wind and snow, and invaded by witchcraft was repaired bit by bit.

The ceiling, walls, and floors were restored to their original state. The damaged computers, tables, and chairs were also restored to their original state. The computer screen still displayed the page before the damage.

Lu Yao: "Xiao Zhong, contact Zhixin and buy another 20 computers. They will be delivered tomorrow afternoon. I will expand the Internet cafe this afternoon, and no one will be on duty during maintenance time. You can leave work later. Inform Cheng Ye and Qing Yan to come to the office for a short meeting later. We will talk about the upgrade of the new keyboard."

Zhong Lianjia: "...Okay."

He didn't want to ask anything anymore.

Losses and customer sources were not something that a small network administrator like him needed to worry about.

Lu Yao originally planned to expand the Internet cafe after the keyboard came out, but now that the store is in such a terrible state, he might as well expand it first and think about the customer source later.

Today, the demon clan market may be temporarily lost, but two new demons have come to the store.

The demons have never been exposed to Internet cafes, isn't this a new market? If the demons are no longer viable

one day, there are still the human world, the cultivation world, and even the underworld and the fairy world.

It is not without advantages to open an Internet cafe in the Floating World Continent. As long as there are people, there will be no worries about lack of business. After arranging things on the shopping street, Lu Yao turned to look at Xuanfeng and Mobao: "You two come here, I will tell you in detail the requirements of your first job." Xuanfeng & Mobao: "..." I don't know why, looking at this human woman at this time, I inexplicably felt a chill on my back. Lu Yao was about to open up the demon clan market, as he didn't want to be stalled again because of the keyboard problem. The new keyboard had already been put into development, so it would be easier to add demon clan characters and cultivation world characters to the demon keyboard than to develop a new keyboard. The Internet cafe had not completely lost the demon clan market, and it was not possible to replace a special peripheral with a wave of customers. After Lu Yao gave a simple training to Cyclone and Mobao, he began to ask about the demon clan. Cyclone and Mobao thought that the owner had some bad intentions towards the demon clan, and their mouths were tighter than a clam, and they refused to say anything no matter how they were asked. Lu Yao called Zhong Lianjia back and asked him to play two games with Cyclone and Mobao. After joining the shopping mall, Zhong Lianjia worked diligently as a network administrator. He almost never played games related to his job, and he had no intention of showing off his skills in front of customers. After experiencing too many things that impacted his cognition today, Xiao Zhong suddenly wanted to regain a sense of accomplishment from his new job. As soon as Lu Yao called out through the small window, he came from the office. Lu Yao did not specify a game, so he asked Zhong Lianjia to take them to play a few games. Zhong Lianjia hesitated for a while, but still clicked on the long-lost icon. Tornado and Mobao did not have accounts, so Xiao Zhong asked an acquaintance to borrow two small accounts. Because they were not new accounts, there were no tutorials for novices. Zhong Lianjia found a novice video on the Internet and explained it frame by frame. Tornado and Mobao had just come into contact with the game, and they stared with their eyes wide open, confused. The little sparrows, on the other hand, stopped behind the chairs, and Doudou's eyes were full of excitement. This was the first time they had seen a game of this mode, and they had never seen other guests play it. Xiao Zhong was talking until his mouth was dry, and Tornado and Mobao were daydreaming, and it was unknown whether they understood it or not. Lu Yao said on the side: "Why not take them to play first, maybe they will learn faster through practice." Zhong Lianjia didn't dare to take them to play a match, so he formed a team and played a game against the AI. This is a popular MOBA game, with one map and two teams competing. Each team has five people, divided into four confrontation lines: top, middle, bottom, and jungle. The team that first pushes down the opponent's base crystal wins. Zhong Lianjia played jungle, Mobao played middle, and Tornado played top, and the three of them were full of confidence. As a result, less than five minutes after the start of the game, the top and middle lanes were scolded by teammates. These two were complete novices, their first time to use electronic products, their first time to play online games, and their first time to play against AI. They didn't even know how to press the hero's skill buttons, so it was expected that they would be scolded. Whirlwind and Magic Baby didn't take it seriously at first, but they got more and more excited. The more excited they got, the more aggressive they became, and no one scolded them anymore.

After all, it was a human-computer game, so Xiao Zhong and other teammates were able to carry the team and won easily.

However, the performance of the two new players of the Demon Clan was very ugly. Lu

Yao did not interrupt them. Seeing that they were getting more and more addicted to the game, he simply sent a message to Cheng Ye and Qing Yan to come to the Internet cafe for a meeting later.

When Cheng Ye and Ji Qing Yan came to the Internet cafe, the sound of keyboards was crackling in the lobby.

Lu Yao greeted them from behind the bar: "Wait for them to play, and we will talk about business."

All she wanted was text materials related to the Demon Clan, and she didn't need to discuss keyboard development.

The trio's discussion ended, and Xiao Zhong also took a break.

Tornado and Mobao relied on Xiao Zhong to carry them. Although they did not lose, they were still very frustrated.

The little sparrow spirit looked around for several hours, his mind full of operations, wishing he could take over the two clumsy and slow guys.

Unfortunately, they were unable to transform, so he could only watch anxiously. Lu Yao

walked over and said, "You two are new to this game, so it's normal that you can't play it well. Besides, this keyboard is not specially used for demons, so it's not handy enough to use."

Before the new clerk Xiao Zhong could react, Ji Qingyan and Cheng Ye had already realized that the owner was closing in.

What bad intentions could the owner have?

He just wanted to develop a keyboard specially for demons and buy a few demon books from them.

Demons are naturally strong and bloodthirsty.

What is reading?

They never touch it.

But Lu Yao is lucky.

After the new Demon Lord took over, he specially asked someone to compile several books in the Demon Palace, including a dictionary.

Mobao is the Demon Lord's companion. The Demon Lord usually doesn't care about him, but he gave several sets of books to Xuanfeng, asking Xuanfeng to find time to read to Mobao.

Xuanfeng took out a stack of brand new books from the storage bag: "They have been kept for many years. Take them if you want."

In order to fulfill Lu Yao's wish, Xuanfeng looked at Zhong Lianjia again: "Come on, play a few more times. I feel like I'm about to learn it."

Mobao also looked over eagerly: "I seem to have a feel for it too."

Zhong Lianjia: "..."

He is too familiar with this rhythm.

The signs of an internet-addicted teenager are already there.

Zhong Lianjia winked at Lu Yao for help.

He didn't feel tired after playing for a few rounds, but it reminded him of some bad experiences.

Cyclone and Mobao couldn't even get out of the Man-Machine Canyon. They were not even "green hands". They were pure rookies.

Lu Yao got the book, copied it with the copy magic, and turned to feed it to Alfred.

She also fed him several sets of classics from the world of cultivation.

Lu Yao stood up: "The store needs to be expanded and maintained. We'll be here today. You all can come back tomorrow afternoon."

---

Since Cyclone and Mobao left the Demon Realm, there has been no news from them.

Demon Lord Zeyuan's ears suddenly became quiet. It was several days later that he remembered to ask the people around him.

The servant waited for three days, and the Lord finally remembered His Highness Mobao and immediately reported the situation.

After listening to this, Ze Yuan remained silent, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then stood up and walked out of the Demon Palace: "I will go to the human world to take a look."

The attendant immediately prepared arrangements.

Ze Yuan said without looking back: "No need to follow, I will go alone."

After walking out of the Demon Palace, Ze Yuan rarely felt a little confused.

The little thing was bound to him by fate, and if something happened, he would definitely be able to sense it.

Now there is no news or message, maybe it is having fun in the human world and doesn't know how to return.

Ze Yuan held his chest and thought of the sudden panic that day.

Forget it.

I have been away from the human world for five hundred years, so I might as well revisit the old place.

Ze Yuan walked out of the Demon Palace and met a female official halfway.

The female official looked anxious: "Your Majesty, a new female official in the Qin Palace was injured by a nightmare beast. I would like to ask Your Majesty to give me some burnt grass to drive away the nightmare poison."

It was a trivial matter, and Ze Yuan didn't take it to heart, so he agreed casually.

-Devil

's Palace, Qin Palace.

Lu Yao lay on the bed, sweating profusely.

She underestimated the ferocity of the nightmare beast and didn't expect it to be so uncomfortable.

There were footsteps outside the door. Thinking that the female official who went to ask Ze Yuan for help had returned, Lu Yao pulled up the quilt and closed her eyes.

The female official brought a bowl of boiled medicine, leaned over to wake up Lu Yao, with a somewhat surprised smile on her face: "You are right. I went to ask the Lord, and I really got the incense grass. I will help you up, drink this bowl of medicine, and you won't be so uncomfortable."

Female official Lu Yao is different from ordinary demons. She is gentle and kind, and doesn't like to fight.

If anyone of the same period makes mistakes, she will try her best to help.

This time she was injured by the nightmare beast, and it was also to help another female official of the same period. When

the female official was young, she fell into the nightmare beast's dream cocoon and was trapped in the cocoon for more than a month. She experienced nightmares and has since had a shadow on the nightmare beast.

She didn't dare to touch the nightmare beast, so Lu Yao helped her to kill it, but was accidentally injured.

Lu Yao sat up and drank the soup obediently. The coldness around her body faded away, and she felt a warmth in her dantian.

She slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "Did the Lord say anything?"

The female official shook her head: "The Lord did not say anything. His Highness Mobao and Xuanfeng have not come back, and the Lord gave them burnt grass and went to the human world."
