97 The Eighth Store
◎Internet Cafe Training Class.◎
The monsters are different from ordinary giant pandas. Lu Yao saw that the five or six-year-old giant pandas on the Internet were all adult cats, but Xiong Anan still looked like a little bear cub, with fluffy and soft fur, and she was cute and tender when she cried.
Xiong Anan hugged Lu Yao's calves tightly and cried.
That attentiveness was cat-like.
Seeing Lu Yao squatting down, gently rubbing a few times, picked up Xiong Anan, and looked at the girl again: "Who are you?"
The girl came back to her senses and was about to speak, but the leading sparrow handed her a small note.
Xiong Anan cried "嘤嘤" when he saw the note, and the girl opposite also showed some nervousness.
The light pink note was a sticky note from the store, with a horizontal bar on the top that was a bit sticky.
Xiong Anan stretched out her claws to try to pull the note off, but Lu Yao held him under his armpit with one hand, and the little sparrow spirit helped her unfold the note.
Lu Yao quickly read it, then looked up at the girl: "Secret recipe for Shandong mixed grain pancakes?"
The girl's face flushed, her dark eyes swayed left and right, and finally lowered her head under Lu Yao's calm gaze, whispering: "Sorry, this is the secret recipe I asked Anan to help me find on the Internet."
The girl's name is Xiong Pingping, and she is Xiong Anan's sister.
Like Xiong Anan, Xiong Pingping is also a half-demon.
Their family originally lived in Bilin Village outside Changkui City. Their father was a hunter and their mother was a demon.
Xiong Pingping was born as a human baby. She has never learned magic and still cannot transform into her original form. Her father never knew that his daughter was a demon.
Xiong Anan was born as a hairless bear cub, which frightened the midwife and the Xiong family.
The demon bear used magic to erase the memories of the midwife and the Xiong family, and took Xiong Anan away overnight.
Only Xiong Pingping still has the memory of that night. She still has a Qiankun bag left by her mother, which contains a sound transmission jade talisman and a magic weapon that can hide the demonic aura.
After her mother and brother left, Xiong Pingping has been living in a human village.
Xiong Pingping secretly used the sound transmission jade talisman to contact her mother, but her mother said that Xiong Anan has not learned to transform yet and cannot go home for the time being.
Back then, the giant bear demon was killed by demon hunters. Xiong An'an was left homeless in the mountains and disappeared quietly. In fact, he was taken away by Xiong Pingping.
However, the second year after his mother left, his father remarried and gave birth to a younger brother the following year.
Xiong Pingping did not live well at home, and did not dare to bring Xiong An'an home, so he could only raise him in the mountains.
Xiong An'an was a real bear child, often making a fuss about going down the mountain.
Xiong Pingping tried her best to coax him to stay in the mountains and not be discovered by the villagers.
However, less than half a year later, Xiong An'an was discovered.
The villagers were ready to capture him and sell him to the people of the Yu Beast Sect.
At that time, the family was also discussing marriage for Xiong Pingping.
Xiong Pingping was unwilling to marry, so she left a letter and secretly took Xiong An'an away from Bilin Village and came to Buxian Town.
Xiong Pingping tried to find a magic weapon for Xiong Anan to conceal his evil spirit, and kept him in her rented house. She went out every day to sell snacks to make a living.
The day before yesterday, the siblings had a quarrel, and Xiong Anan sneaked out of the house at night and climbed all the way up the Buxian Mountain.
Xiong Pingping searched for two days before she found Xiong Anan.
After making sure her brother was fine, Xiong Pingping's attention shifted to the strange shop that took Xiong Anan in.
She wandered around the lobby for half a day, and just by observing other people surfing the Internet, she had a preliminary understanding of the benefits of the Internet.
There was a customer who liked to watch food broadcasts. Xiong Pingping also sold food on weekdays, and she stood behind him and watched for a long time.
Later, before the time came, the customer left first.
Under the cover of Xiong Anan, Xiong Pingping sat and watched for a while. What she saw was a big brother selling pancakes live. There was a long queue in front of the palm-sized cart. Xiong Pingping was jealous of the good business.
She did not take Xiong Anan home, but went back to her residence to try to make mixed grain pancakes.
But she didn't know how to make meat floss, didn't know how to make it thin and crispy, and didn't know the taste of the sauce. She felt that the pancakes she made didn't taste good.
So there was this incident today. Xiong Anan wrote down the pancake recipe that she had painstakingly collected on a piece of paper and secretly gave it to Xiong Pingping, but was caught in the act.
Xiong Pingping was very embarrassed after she finished speaking, and her face was as red as a peach.
She had inquired that it took five medium-grade spirit stones to go online, and twenty high-grade spirit stones to open an account.
Xiong Pingping has saved a little money in recent years, but it is not enough to go online once.
Lu Yao looked at the secret recipe in his hand, then looked up at Xiong Pingping, and was speechless for a moment. He never thought that he could complete the task in this way.
Does this count as finding a loophole in the system?
Xiong Pingping was very flustered when she saw that Lu Yao had been silent.
Although the owner of the Internet cafe is a human, he can recruit so many monsters and demons, which shows that
he has great means. Lu Yao returned the small note with the secret recipe to Xiong Pingping: "It's just a small matter, don't worry about it. Since you are the sister of the little bear spirit, you can take him back today."
Lu Yao originally kept the little bear spirit in the store because he wanted to rely on him to complete the task.
Now it doesn't take much effort. The monster icon has been lit up, so it doesn't matter whether he stays or not.
Listening to Xiong Pingping's story, she knew that the two siblings depended on each other now, and it would be inhumane for her to force Xiong An'an to stay in the Internet cafe.
Xiong Pingping's face changed, and she bowed to Lu Yao and said, "Shopkeeper, I have a favor to ask."
Lu Yao said nothing.
Xiong Pingping said to herself, "An'an has told me recently that the humans and monsters in the store like him very much, and he also likes to stay in the Internet cafe. An'an is more comfortable on the Immortal Mountain than with me. Pingping wants to ask the owner to take An'an in on the mountain. I am willing to pay for An'an's food and accommodation on a monthly basis, and I can also do a favor for the owner."
Lu Yao: "What can you do for me?"
Xiong Pingping: "Does the owner need a human woman over 60 to come to the Internet cafe?"
Lu Yao thought he had seen a ghost: "Where did you hear about this?"
Xiong Pingping smiled and said, "I have nothing, but my eyes and ears are sharper than those of ordinary people, and I can easily detect the abnormalities around me. I do business in the town of Buxian at the foot of the mountain. Recently, the young monk from Hengze Sect has been recruiting old ladies in the market and inviting them to go up the mountain with him. I am chased and scolded every day. I didn't know the reason at first, but when I came to find An An the day before yesterday, I met the young monk on the way up the mountain, and I guessed a little bit."
Lu Yao wanted to hold her forehead. She only knew that Jiang Yan had a bit of a dull personality, but she didn't expect him to be so straightforward.
She did ask Jiang Yan to bring human guests to the Internet cafe, and also asked him to refine a few bottles of low-grade elixirs to consolidate cultivation.
The elixirs had been delivered the day before yesterday, and he said that the matter of the human guests would have to wait.
No wonder he looked sad that day, probably because the mission was not going well. Lu Yao was somewhat interested in Xiong Pingping's proposal: "What he can't do, you can do?"
Xiong Pingping bowed her head and said: "I will do this for the owner within three days."
Lu Yao: "The rules of my store are that customers must come to the door, and they cannot feel forced."
Xiong Pingping: "Don't worry, owner, I will make sure that customers are willing to go up the mountain."
Lu Yao: "If you can really do this, I will let Xiong Anan work in the store, you don't have to pay for his food and accommodation, and I will give you a complete secret recipe for pancakes."
Xiong Pingping was overjoyed, bowed to Lu Yao and thanked him, and then went down the mountain without looking back.
Xiong Anan looked at Xiong Pingping's back, feeling a little lost.
Lu Yao put him on the ground: "If you want to go back with your sister, I won't force you to stay."
Xiong Anan turned around, hugged Lu Yao's legs tightly with his paws, and began to act coquettishly again.
Xiong Pingping was not wrong, Xiong Anan really liked the Internet cafe, especially after he learned that the humans in the store liked him very much, he liked it even more.
It was more lively than hiding in the mountains alone, and it was also happier than staying in that small rental house alone.
Recently, he was even thinking about a question he had never thought about before-if he was not around, would his sister be more relaxed?
Xiong Anan didn't leave, and Lu Yao didn't care about him.
Back to the store, she put the elixir promised to the little sparrow spirit in the cage.
The little sparrow spirits did not sleep or play around. They ate up the pills in the bottle in one meal and flew out to practice.
---
Three days later, starting in the morning, Xiong Anan looked out the door from time to time to see if Xiong Pingping had come.
But he didn't see anyone, and Xiong Anan was a little anxious.
Originally, they would contact each other through the sound transmission jade talisman, but Xiong Pingping seemed to be very busy these days. She would reply to him very late every time, and disappear after a few words.
He didn't know what happened to his sister. It was
not until the afternoon that Xiong Pingping came out of the transmission array at the door of the Internet cafe with a white-haired old lady. Xiong Anan went to greet them, crying
. The old lady was so scared when she saw Xiong Anan that she dared not move. Lu Yao
heard the movement outside and immediately came out to carry Xiong Anan away.
Xiong Pingping supported the old lady, avoiding the nearby monsters with beast-like features, and led the old lady to the bar and turned on a machine.
Xiong Pingping paid out of her own pocket and reluctantly took out 20 high-quality spirit stones to open an account on a video platform.
She took the old lady to a seat, logged into the account, and the two sat together and started watching videos.
They didn't watch anything else, just food videos.
There was an animal skin spread out in front of the old lady, holding a piece of charcoal in her hand, watching a section from time to time, stopping to write a paragraph on the animal skin, and sometimes she would pull the progress bar to read it repeatedly.
Lu Yao was really curious and walked over to take a look.
It turned out that she was memorizing a recipe.
Thinking of her operation when he first met Xiong Pingping, Lu Yao understood it all at once, and admired the mind of this little half-monster.
Most of the guests from Fushidalu come to the Internet cafe to play games, watch TV series or chase stars, but Xiong Pingping is very sensitive to discover the other side of the Internet - learning.
She and this old human woman regard the Internet cafe as a "training class" for further learning cooking skills, and frantically absorb the recipes and cooking skills shared on the Internet.
Xiong Pingping was a little absent-minded at first because she felt sorry for the spiritual stones, but later she was completely attracted by the strange and bizarre food in the Internet world. Even if she couldn't cook it, just looking at it made her amazed.
She had never seen the recipes of many foods on the Internet. After learning, why worry about not making money?
The time spent surfing the Internet passed quickly, and she hardly felt anything. A few hours passed.
It was getting dark outside, and some customers started to order food.
After a while, the Internet cafe was filled with fragrance.
Xiong Pingping and the old lady tilted their heads and saw several snacks they had just seen on the Internet in the lunch boxes in front of the customers next to them.
Xiong Pingping and the old lady looked at each other and couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
Lu Yao had been paying attention to them and sent a message to order two servings of fried cakes at the snack bar.
The snack bar occasionally has fried cakes for breakfast. There are too many kinds of snacks in the store, and they don't sell the same snacks every day.
After all, it is the only food store in Dream Country, and the menu will be adjusted and rotated to give customers a little surprise from time to time.
But the store has machines and materials for the food that has been sold.
Lu Yao informed the staff of the snack bar a few days ago about how many days of selling fried cakes.
When the food was delivered, Lu Yao added a sausage to each of them in the paper bag and handed it directly to them: "You two are new customers, and you have spent more than two hours in the store. The store will give you a small gift."
Xiong Pingping and the old woman of the human race were flattered, and the aroma lingered in their noses. They couldn't say no.
Opening the package, Xiong Pingping recognized it at a glance as the mixed grain pancake she had been thinking about. Without thinking too much, she lowered her head and took a big bite. It was soft, crispy, salty, and fragrant. The real thing was a hundred times more delicious than she had imagined.
After tasting it, the old woman looked up in surprise: "This tastes better than what you made."
Xiong Pingping nodded: "So, you must come to the mountain to learn the skills, only then can you learn the real skills."
The old woman: "I am old, and it is useless to look at all those things. I just like the fried beef cakes. I know the ingredients, and the method is not difficult. I will try it when I go back. Pingping, are you still selling your fried cakes?"
Xiong Pingping: "Grandma, I don't sell beef cakes anyway."
The old woman stopped talking and lowered her head to concentrate on eating the cakes.
Lu Yao asked Xiong Pingping with his mouth: "What's going on?"
Xiong Pingping: "I'll explain it to you later."
After eating pancakes and snacks, Xiong Pingping took the old lady away.
They still used the teleportation scroll to go back.
Lu Yao was worried, so he asked Harold to come over and hide in the dark until the two of them returned safely to their residence in Buxian Town.
Before going to bed at night, Lu Yao checked the mission atlas, and the icon of the human race was indeed lit.
The icons of the human race and the demon race were lit, and the mission of the demon race was temporarily put on hold.
For Lu Yao, the difficulty of the missions in the immortal and underworld worlds was almost impossible to complete.
She could only look at the cultivation world first.
[Requirements for lighting up the atlas: the strongest person in the cultivation world. ]
Lu Yao: "..."
