Chapter 1. Let's throw ourselves into our work with full enthusiasm! ...
"Host, your shop is now complete. Please work hard to acquire the facilities inside."
On an early autumn night, about 20 miles away from the bustling city of Hangzhou, a small shop quietly rose up in the wilderness.
Lu Yusheng replied with great enthusiasm: "Of course! God has given me a new life after working overtime all night, and I will repay her with double the 996!"
only……
Faced with the ridiculously empty room in such a prime location, her voice gradually became hesitant: "Could I know what kind of shop I'm fortunate enough to own?"
The system's mechanical voice then sounded: "Integrated online leisure and entertainment club."
Upon hearing this answer, Lu Yusheng's eyes lit up again: "Opening an internet cafe?! Is that even possible?!"
If starting her own business is her first dream after being a corporate slave for so long, then playing games on company-funded pay is definitely in the top three, even if it ranks second!
Thinking about it this way, the tension of traveling to another world lessened considerably.
She sat down on the ground, her excitement enough to make her ignore Qingqiu's coldness: "What's next? I'm very motivated right now."
Lu Yusheng had already made up her mind. The first computer was of great significance, so she would place it on the bar counter at the entrance as her personal computer for her private use.
The shop is so empty now, she needs to carefully consider the layout and planning...
However, before she could continue her plan, the system interrupted her thoughts: "The system provides the storefront, but not other funds or furnishings. The machine must be exchanged by the host in the equivalent currency of the current dimension."
Although she knew she was no longer in the original world, she couldn't help but tentatively ask, "...In this current world, is RMB used?"
"The main currencies in circulation were copper coins and gold and silver."
The answers were still very formulaic, but they were all honest and forthcoming.
Upon hearing this, she immediately understood: "Ancient times..."
That shouldn't be too difficult. As long as it's not a time of war and the government doesn't have much control over entertainment, internet cafes should be very attractive to people in ancient times.
Don't rush to dream about days when you can fill sacks with money; the biggest challenge right now is getting start-up capital.
After the store was completed, Lu Yusheng went to look around. It was not far from the official road, but it was still in a remote location. There was no town in sight, so it would not be easy to start from scratch and earn the first pot of gold.
At least there's a roof over here, so even though it's not exactly an inn, it at least provides shelter from the wind and rain.
Moreover, this place is in a remote location, making it perfect for opening a shady business.
"Wait a minute, let me do the math... Let's assume we run the inn first, charging 20 per meal, and a decent computer costs 4000, that's 200 meals?"
Lu Yusheng gasped. This was without considering the cost. Moreover, in ancient times, food was only meant to fill one's stomach. If the price was even slightly higher, no one would likely patronize it.
In that case, profits would probably have to be cut in half again.
Even disregarding whether there's a stove or not, even if she could actually take over the work from the nearby inn, she would still have to work hard for several years to afford the equipment for an internet cafe.
"Do you have any offensive methods? Let's just rob the merchants passing by."
She had barely finished speaking when she suddenly realized something and interrupted herself: "Just kidding, just kidding, Amitabha."
Just kidding, she has to do good deeds to repay the Bodhisattva's kindness.
Sigh... If she can't resort to crooked methods, how is she supposed to make money?
Just as Lu Yusheng was at his wit's end, the sound of clattering hooves suddenly came from afar.
Her ears twitched sharply: "We already have guests?"
She straightened up and looked out the window, but it was already late at night and visibility was much lower. She could only listen to the approaching hoofbeats.
The two people approaching from a distance also asked the building under the moonlight, "Brother Jin, do you see that small building over there? I remember it was empty when we came here, wasn't it?"
"It's pitch black, could it be some kind of haunted house...?"
The person who spoke shuddered as he got to this point.
The two exchanged a glance, seemingly sensing something ominous: "Let's go in and take a look."
Only when he saw the two horses actually turn towards him did Lu Yusheng belatedly begin to feel nervous.
After all, it was dark and windy, and she was powerless to do anything about it. What if they were bad guys...?
"System, you won't let me die, right? My safety is in your hands, right?"
The system answered this question seriously: "Don't worry, now that I've bound myself to you, I will take responsibility for you."
With this promise from a supernatural force, she finally felt a little more at ease.
As the visitor approached, Lu Yusheng greeted him as if he were the host.
"Gentlemen, you've been traveling late into the night. Would you like to rest here for the night?" Her words flowed naturally from their classical attire.
Night vision is a problem for Lu Yusheng, but not for martial arts practitioners.
By the faint moonlight, Lu Xiaofeng had already looked the woman over from head to toe.
There was no pale face, no feet dangling in mid-air, and although the clothes he wore were a bit strange... at least he wasn't missing any arms or legs.
"Are you the shop owner? Running a shop in this deep mountain forest?"
Lu Xiaofeng has been wandering the world for some time now, and he thinks he has encountered enough extraordinary people, but he never expected that this would be another one today.
...What were they thinking? Are they trying to gamble with money? Opening a shop in a busy area isn't illegal.
Jin Jiuling walked over with a calm expression: "What kind of business do you do? Is it registered with the government?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yusheng strangely felt as if he were facing a surprise inspection from his boss.
"We're the Industry and Commerce Bureau..." She paused abruptly, then belatedly realized she was feeling guilty, and whispered to the system in her mind, "Do we?"
The system calmly replied: "The relevant procedures for opening a store have been automatically completed when the store appears, and they absolutely meet the standards of the current era."
Hearing this, Lu Yusheng felt much more at ease, and then nodded firmly: "Of course, you can check it out if you're not comfortable with it."
Jin Jiuling nodded and asked no more questions, seemingly believing it to be true.
Let's set aside the question of its origin for now...
Is this place even habitable?
After a tiring night of travel, one needs at least a tub of bathwater at the perfect temperature, clean clothes to change into, a spacious and comfortable bed, and a soft Persian carpet in the room.
Jin Jiuling was a man of principle. Rather than staying in such conditions, he would rather travel another hour to reach the city.
"Thud"
On such a night, apart from the occasional snort from the horses, all was silent, and even the faint sound of lighting a tinderbox seemed particularly jarring.
Lu Yusheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw the bearded man. He seemed to notice that her gaze was unfocused and staring into the air, so he turned on the light for her.
By the firelight, Lu Xiaofeng also glanced at the scene inside the house...
It's no exaggeration to say that the house was bare. Even the gleaming, expensive-looking glass windows were bare and cheap.
