Opened at noon, the Wonderful Shop became an instant sensation in Qingshan Town and even several surrounding towns within just half a day.
Of course, the stories about the cash registers in the shops, the extra-bright lights, and the fact that you can't take anything out of the shop without paying, as if there's an invisible barrier blocking your way, also spread like wildfire.
But the story became increasingly mysterious. Eventually, some people said it was a shop run by immortals, so the food in the shop was celestial food, and the equipment inside was all magical artifacts from the celestial realm.
At first, only a few outsiders believed it, but over time, more and more people did. Even if it wasn't a shop run by gods, there must be a reclusive master behind it.
Some people didn't believe it, thinking it was an exaggeration. They went to the store to try it themselves, and sure enough, they couldn't leave the store. Feeling the stares of those around them, looking at them like they were crazy, some embarrassedly turned back to pay.
The store was so popular that even after the price increased from the 20% discount on opening day, it was still packed with customers. The ten young people working so hard were exhausted.
On the eve of opening, Wang Simeng set a monthly salary of 500 cash for everyone. Sales and cashier work in shifts, with weekends off and commission. After three years or saving enough money, one can buy their freedom. Even after buying their freedom, they can continue working here, and it was stated that there would be a chain of stores in the future. Those who perform well will have the opportunity to manage new stores in the chain. Therefore, everyone needs to be proficient in sales and cashier duties.
Everyone worked incredibly hard, both for themselves and for such a good employer.
Wang Simeng had just finished buying the servants when she told everyone not to call her "master." As a modern person, hearing others call her "master" felt really uncomfortable. So she made everyone call her "boss" as well, both in public and in private.
Seeing that everyone had worked so hard, Wang Simeng gave each person a reward of five hundred coins, including the old women who cleaned and cooked. Everyone was overjoyed.
Wang Simeng decided to buy some more people from the broker. "The shop being too popular is also a problem~" Wang Simeng said to System Xiao Liu.
"Host, you're too Versailles~" Xiao Liu shifted its little bottom and rolled its eyes at Wang Simeng.
Hahaha~
They selected ten teenagers and girls from the matchmaker and made arrangements. After half a month, the shop's reputation spread further, and its magical properties and wondrous products became increasingly well-known.
Within half a month, customer traffic had stabilized, and the goods were all obtained free of charge from the villa's mini-supermarket. Therefore, after deducting employee salaries and bonuses, the rest was pure profit. This could be exchanged for yuan on the shopping page; 1 wen equals 0.1 yuan, and 10 wen equals 1 yuan.
Many products, such as instant noodles, biscuits, bread, and self-heating hot pot, sell out every day. Wang Simeng has a lot of goods stored in the warehouse on the second floor, but she also plans to sell them in fixed quantities and not keep adding more indefinitely. The warehouse is only replenished every three to five days.
When restocking, Wang Simeng would avoid her employees and replenish the goods at night. The warehouse would be full the next day, leading everyone to believe their boss was incredibly capable. They assumed she had other helpers who moved the goods silently at night, attributing it all to the fact that she had hired highly skilled individuals. After all, her boss owned such a remarkable shop, filled with items the common people had never even seen before. It was perfectly normal for such a powerful person to have a group of experts assisting her.
Wang Simeng didn't offer any explanation, nor did she intend to. But if she knew what they were thinking, she would definitely be quite happy. Her employees are so good at coming up with reasonable explanations on their own; they're such worry-free employees! Hahahaha!
Half a month passed. Although Wang Simeng was in charge of the shop, she delegated authority to others. She strolled around the town, ate, drank, and shopped, and watched dramas and practiced the "Heart Refining Technique" in her virtual space.
By slowing down the spatial time, Wang Simeng utilized the time difference with the outside world. In half a month, she had already mastered the technique. She was only missing the second volume to complete through quests. Wang Simeng wasn't in a hurry. She'd already thoroughly mastered it and had been playing with it for half a month; she was getting bored. Only then did Wang Simeng remember that System Six hadn't given her any quests for quite some time.
"Ding! The system has issued a new task: open a fried food shop, a milk tea shop, and a dessert shop in Qingshan Town. For each shop opened, you will be rewarded with three protective shields, a Golden Bell Cloud Flying Vehicle, and three system-controlled beginner shopkeeper character cards."
Wang Simeng mentally complained to System Xiao Liu, "Xiao Liu, no offense, but did you forget to issue the task while watching a drama?"
"Hmph, host has misunderstood Xiao Liu. Xiao Liu is so sad, so heartbroken~"
The system issues tasks based on the host's subconscious thoughts. From these subconscious thoughts, many tasks are summarized and analyzed. Then, the optimal system task is selected and issued. System Six even stopped eating its sunflower seeds; its pig-like face clearly showed: "I'm angry, come and coax me."
"I see," Wang Simeng said with a forced smile.
He understood immediately. He'd been doing nothing lately and hadn't even considered opening a shop again. That's why the system sensed his subconscious thoughts and didn't give him any tasks. Now that he'd been doing nothing for so long, he remembered the tasks and that's why they appeared.
"Ahem, our lovely little Liu Liu, pat pat. This is my problem. I will work harder in the future and reach the pinnacle of life. Then we can travel through time and space, return to the modern world, and even go to the cultivation world to play."
