An Ge felt that although she had her unlucky moments before, she was already lucky enough compared to Meng Xia.
Just as I was about to offer some words of comfort, Meng Xia continued, "However, I drew three Divine Servant Contract items. If I find a Divine Servant that satisfies me, it's not too late to form a contract with it."
An Ge swallowed her words of comfort, deciding to withdraw her sympathy.
After chatting and laughing with Meng Xia, An Ge dispelled her gloomy mood from the stark contrast between the current branch and the past. She placed bread, biscuits, water, and other high-demand items with long shelf lives on the shelves. Once tidied up, the convenience store looked quite presentable.
As for tables and chairs, An Ge completely ignored them. What use are tables and chairs now that there's not even a kitchen or a chef?
After a quick tidying up, the first branch of Xianyuan Inn officially opened.
Ange had a strong feeling that, unlike the various tasks and strange buildings at the main store, the branch store would probably not have any special changes other than upgrades.
As expected, trying to replicate the development model of the main store is not a viable approach.
“I feel like I’m just an ordinary innkeeper, oh no, now I’m a convenience store owner.” An Ge said as she took a bag of potato chips from the shelf, and the empty space was automatically filled with a new bag of potato chips.
This is a newly developed feature. Once set up, it will automatically replenish the removed items, saving you the trouble of restocking and checking the inventory.
"Do you have some misunderstanding about what 'ordinary' means?" Meng Xia rolled her eyes and took out a bag of snacks to eat.
After the convenience store opened, not a single person came in. Thanks to the inn's defensive features, not even a zombie was seen.
An Ge yawned boredly, handed over the task of guarding the shop to Meng Xia, and activated his Eye of Exploration to prepare to look for the treasure.
She had no expectations for treasure hunting here, but the moment her Eye of Exploration opened, An Ge's eyes lit up. Lights of varying brightness rose and fell, and even moved.
"So many treasures!" An Ge exclaimed in surprise, her mouth agape. Even in the secret realm, she hadn't discovered so many wonderful things.
Having just lost a large number of points, An Ge was trying to make up for it elsewhere. Although the treasures she had obtained couldn't be converted into points, it didn't dampen An Ge's excitement.
She quickly walked to a bright spot, expecting to find some treasure, when she nearly bumped into a face that was not human.
An Ge quickly dodged, patting her heart in fright. She had actually encountered a zombie around the corner, which almost made her vomit.
Just as I was about to eliminate the zombie, I saw its head flashing with light.
An Ge paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something, and her eyes widened even more!
No way!
This zombie was quite powerful. Sensing the danger, it was about to leave when An Ge habitually burned it to ashes.
She paused for a moment, then continued walking towards the light, where she saw a group of zombies wandering aimlessly. The varying brightness of the light above their heads almost blinded Ange.
Very well, her guess was right; these treasures were all hidden inside the zombies' heads.
An Ge closed her Eye of Insight, sighed in disappointment, and decided to abandon this treasure hunt. As someone with a slight case of mysophobia, she wasn't so poor as to dig up zombie crystal cores.
While Ange was searching for treasure, a small group of people carefully avoided the zombies and headed in one direction.
"Brother Tian, are you sure your benefactor wants to open a hotel here?" The thin but shrewd man looked around and couldn't help but ask.
Chengtian glanced at the other party and said, "Xiao Ma, I told you before that if you have any doubts, you don't have to come. If you don't believe me, it's not too late to go back now. Anyway, my family and I are not planning to go back to the base."
Xiao Ma quickly smiled apologetically, "Brother Tian, I didn't doubt it, I just find it unbelievable."
Chengtian glanced at the people who had followed him and sighed.
Although he reacted quickly, the food was still discovered. Someone found him, pleading with him. Thinking of everyone's hardships, he explained the situation to him.
Unexpectedly, the news that he had found extremely delicious food had spread to a small circle. These people had come to him to inquire about the situation, and after hearing about it, they decided to follow him to see for themselves.
Because of this, Chengtian wasted a lot of time. If he didn't agree to their demands, he might not even be able to leave the base.
It has been several days since I last saw my benefactor, and I wonder if my benefactor has left?
No, his benefactor said he would open a hotel, and he had to trust his benefactor. Thinking of this, Chengtian tightened his grip on his daughter's hand.
"Have you noticed that there seem to be far fewer zombies around here?" someone suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Now that you mention it, I do remember. There are hordes of zombies here. Even during the day, it wouldn't be this quiet."
"Could there be a high-level zombie?" Someone asked, their voice trembling with fear.
Chengtian pursed his lips. "We're almost there. Hang in there, everyone. We'll be safe once we see our benefactor."
Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. Even if someone regrets it now, they have no choice but to grit their teeth and follow the group.
"Look, isn't there a billboard over there in the square that keeps flashing?"
"Little Ma, are you hallucinating? How can there still be electricity at this hour... Oh my god, it really is!"
Tian Cheng's eyes lit up. This place wasn't far from where his benefactor lived; it must be the shop they owned.
"Everyone, hurry over there." Tian Cheng led the group to quicken their pace.
Inside the convenience store, Meng Xia rested her chin on her arm, bored.
Running a shop is so boring. Before, she only saw An Ge's carefree attitude, but after opening the shop this time, she realized that so-called carefree attitude is earned through hard work.
"Xiao Ge'er couldn't have achieved this day by luck alone; she must have put in tremendous effort. I've been so decadent, thinking I had already worked hard enough."
Meng Xia kept reflecting on herself and decided to return to the interstellar space in a few days to properly develop her divine status.
"Knock knock! Is anyone home?" Meng Xia was thinking when there was a sudden knock on the door.
There's a guest! She quickly got up and poked her head out of the window. "Hey, over here."
Cheng Tian and his companions were feeling uneasy because this building—let's just call it a building—was so unlike a normal building that if it weren't for the sign at the entrance, they would have thought they had come to the wrong place.
Upon seeing Meng Xia, Cheng Tian excitedly ran over, "Meng Enren, I've finally found you!"
"Oh, it's you! This must be your daughter. She's so cute." Meng Xia greeted her with a smile, unaware that the people behind Cheng Tian were staring wide-eyed.
They didn't enter the inn, but through the windows they could see that there were a lot of supplies inside.
Supplies! Some people couldn't take their eyes off them.
According to Chengtian, the shop was run by two people, and one of them was of unpredictable strength, seemingly not the one currently in the shop.
Wouldn't that be a great opportunity?
