Chapter 11: Special Summoner
"Player No. 1717, F-level summoner, current stamina value is 0."
Zhu Yu walked forward and opened the player's personal panel while calling system 996 for inquiry.
"996, please help check if 'Player 1717' has posted any stupid, violent, insulting or other inappropriate comments in the player group."
Years of experience in novels, films and TV shows taught her that she couldn't just pick up people on the street.
Especially after discovering what the two players Yin Hua and Liang Maocai had done, she now maintains a certain degree of vigilance towards unfamiliar players.
"Host, player 1717 had only asked about the specific location of the hot pot restaurant in the group before. She must have wanted to seek refuge in the safe zone. It seems that she had an accident and froze on the road."
Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. She squatted down and helped the player smooth out her frozen hair.
What surprised Zhu Yu was that player 1717 was actually a girl with a baby face who seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Her clothes were torn and there were traces of beast bites on several places, which meant she must have been in a big battle.
Moreover, she was only wearing a single piece of clothing, which was obviously not suitable for this cold environment.
Zhu Yu guessed that maybe her coat had been lost while fighting the monster.
At this time, player 1717 looked pale, which was an obvious symptom of hypothermia.
The temperature in the wild is still slowly dropping. If she doesn't keep warm in time, she might fall into a more serious situation.
Zhu Yu suddenly thought of something, and she took out a thick snow wolf skin that was dropped by a monster she had killed before from the player's backpack.
She gently spread out the wolf skin and carefully wrapped the person in it.
"Well, at least now neither of you will freeze to death."
Zhu Yu muttered to herself as she put the palm-sized kitten in her pocket and then carried player 1717 back to her tent.
The radiator in the tent was on all the time. Zhu Yu gently placed the person next to the radiator, then picked up the thermos cup and poured hot water to her lips little by little.
Although player 1717 still hadn't woken up, her body instinctively accepted the warmth and slowly swallowed the water.
After drinking the hot water, her complexion regained some color and her breathing became a little smoother.
Seeing that the situation had improved, Zhu Yu felt relieved.
Then she gently picked up the weak kitten and placed it next to the radiator like its owner, letting the warm air flow surround it.
Just as she was about to go to the hot pot restaurant to get a glass of milk to feed it, Zhu Yu suddenly remembered that cats seemed to be unable to drink milk.
If an already weak cat were to suffer from diarrhea, the consequences would be disastrous.
But if it is not fed something now, it seems that it really will not survive until tomorrow morning.
Just when Zhu Yu was feeling distressed, the kitten on the ground meowed a few times at player 1717's backpack.
Yes, this cat is raised by player 1717 herself, and she must carry cat food with her.
Zhu Yu slapped his head and said "sorry" to the unconscious player 1717 in his heart, then carefully took the bag from her and unzipped it.
“Clatter.”
Several cans of cat food fell out of the bag, and some scattered freeze-dried meat particles rolled down at Zhu Yu's feet.
She quickly picked up a can of cat food, opened it, and fed the kitten, adding hot water to make it easier to digest.
After the kitten had eaten and drunk its fill and was lying lazily on the ground licking its fur, Zhu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and the tension in his heart gradually eased.
After finishing all this, she finally had time to sit on the inflatable sofa, open the NPC panel, and check the settlement summary of the hot pot restaurant.
On the fourth day, the online net profit of hot pot was 4,808 gold coins, and the offline net profit was 338 gold coins.
The total profit is 5146 gold coins.
Looking at today's settlement, Zhu Yu was pleasantly surprised to find that a total of 92 tables of hotpot were sold offline today, and the mark of 100 tables was about to be broken.
She remembered clearly that the last time "Hot Pot Snacks" was updated, the prerequisite was to sell more than 10 tables of hot pot offline.
According to this logic, perhaps when she sells more than 100 tables of hotpot, new snacks will appear?
With this expectation, Zhu Yu walked into the bathroom to wash up.
However, when she saw the simple squat toilet, she realized that she had been so busy these two days that she had not even had time to set up the toilet.
She immediately opened the store, browsed around, and having plenty of money, she did not hesitate to buy a high-end toilet and a complete set of sanitary equipment.
Considering that these were just daily necessities and there was no need for additional effects, she chose all basic white-quality items, spending a total of 470 gold coins.
After the system prompted that the items had been successfully placed in the warehouse, Zhu Yu did not linger for long and immediately removed the old squat toilet on the shelter's thumbnail and replaced it with a newly purchased sit-down toilet.
This toilet has a self-cleaning function, is easy to operate and very practical.
After installing the sink and sensor faucet, she hung an oval mirror above the sink, making the entire bathroom look cleaner and brighter.
Then Zhu Yu began to arrange the shower area.
She first laid non-slip floor tiles to ensure that she would not slip due to water stains when showering.
Then she installed the shower partition next to the shower. The partition is made of transparent glass, which can not only ensure the transparency of the space, but also prevent water from splashing, keeping the entire bathroom dry.
For ease of use, Zhu Yu also hung a shelf next to the shower head and neatly placed the shower gel, shampoo and other supplies he brought from camping on it.
Looking at the newly renovated bathroom, Zhu Yu yawned with satisfaction and simply washed up.
After washing up, she dragged her tired body to bed.
Before going to bed, Zhu Yu secretly decided in her heart that when she expanded the shelter next time, she must install a large bathtub so that she could take a good hot bath after a tiring day!
She couldn't help but imagine herself lying in the bathtub, with warm water surrounding her whole body, taking a relaxing bath.
This thought made her smile, but before her thoughts could drift away, sleepiness gradually came over her and Zhu Yu fell asleep in a daze.
The light in the tent gradually became brighter, and the morning light shone through the tent fabric, casting a hazy orange-red halo.
The sleeping girl felt the change in light, her eyelids trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Her consciousness was still hazy, and she looked at the unfamiliar environment in a daze. She moved her body slightly, feeling the soft and thick wolf skin on her body, and her mind gradually became clear.
Jing Miao frowned slightly and looked around the tent, her heart full of doubts and uneasiness. The battle scene last night flashed through her mind, and she couldn't remember how she got here.
Just as she was trying to recall what happened last night, the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted and a gust of cold wind rushed in.
Zhu Yu had just come back from fighting monsters outside, and there were still some snowflakes on his clothes.
She took off her coat as she walked, casually draped it over the back of a folding chair, and looked up to see that Player 1717 had woken up.
"Are you awake?" Zhu Yu asked casually.
Jing Miao raised her head and looked at Zhu Yu, gradually realizing that this was the person who saved her last night.
"You saved me... Thank you." Her voice was filled with sincere gratitude. Although she was still a little weak, she had regained some strength.
Zhu Yu glanced at her and asked, "I saw you lying near the safe zone. Did you come here for the hot pot restaurant?"
Jing Miao nodded and admitted: "Yes, I was planning to set up a shelter near the safe zone, but I encountered an F-level monster while on the road last night. I wanted to run to the safe zone, but I didn't expect that I almost died."
Zhu Yu was puzzled that an F-level combat player could not defeat monsters of the same level, and even escaped in a very awkward manner.
She did not reveal the other party's identity, and asked in confusion:
"Most of the people living near the safe zone are casual gamers. Are you also a casual gamer?"
"No, no, no, my profession is actually a summoner."
Jing Miao pursed her lips, seeming a little embarrassed: "But I don't know what went wrong. I'm different from other summoner players. I only summoned... a kitten with no fighting power."
At this point, the two of them looked at the orange kitten not far away at the same time. It was now sleeping comfortably in the makeshift nest that Zhu Yu had made last night using a few short-sleeved shirts.
No wonder a summoner like him has such a hard time in the game. Zhu Yu’s doubts were finally resolved.
Jing Miao: "Anyway, thank you so much for saving me and Xiaoju. If you need any help in the future, you can always call me."
Zhu Yu thought to himself: No, no, it's not necessary. Your ability to survive to the end of the dungeon is the biggest help to me. But she still responded politely on the surface: "Okay, I hope you can summon a more powerful summoned beast in the future."
Jing Miao hesitated for a while, then explained awkwardly: "Well, actually I can only summon one summoned beast, which is Xiaoju. And the way I upgrade my level is bound to Xiaoju. Only when it upgrades, I can upgrade as well."
She sighed softly, "It's a pity that Xiaoju's ability is the useless 'Charm Aura'. It can only attract a few players to pet the cat at most. Even its upgrade path is to gain the favor of a certain number of players. That's why I thought of living in the safe zone. After all, there are more players here."
"What! This ability is not useless at all!"
Hearing Jing Miao's complaint, Zhu Yu showed a hint of excitement on his face.
She took back her thoughts about player 1717. Zhu Yu held Jing Miao's hand and said with a smile:
"I just suddenly remembered that my hot pot restaurant is short of staff recently. If you are willing, I would like to hire you as the receptionist."
"Ah? Me?"
Jing Miao pointed at herself, a trace of confusion flashed across her eyes. After a moment, she reacted and sat up from the wolf skin in surprise:
"Wait, you...you are the owner of 'Fengxue Hot Pot Restaurant'!?"
