The enormous sun hangs in the sky, round like a jade plate, visible in the distance.
Its heat is not scorching, but warm and bright.
There is wind, there are clouds, and there is the ocean.
Several people stood on the withered, yellowing branches and took a deep breath of fresh air.
It's so good to be alive!
Feng Jiakang turned around and took a picture of the ocean and the enormous creature beneath his feet with his mobile phone.
"Goodness, a dry twig is as big as a small island!" he exclaimed. Not only that, but on the sea surface, some of the withered yellow twigs stood straight like rocks facing the sun, while others were bent into semicircles like islands plunging into the sea.
Such enormous branches of various shapes are almost everywhere in sight.
Although the scenery was unusual and worth seeing, the people who had experienced the Abyss City had no intention of staying to appreciate it. They all took out leaves and waited for the Gate of Reincarnation to descend.
Only when the towering gate actually appeared did everyone finally feel relieved.
As the light flashed, the maintainers, reluctant to part, returned to their respective rest stations. Perhaps they would meet again soon, or perhaps they would never see each other again in their lifetime; who could say for sure?
'Ding! Congratulations to all maintainers of Rest Stop C-BLD1 for successfully destroying one of the Death Realms of the Land of Death—Abyss City—and returning safely. As a reward, you are granted six round-trip tickets to the Gate of Reincarnation. Note: These tickets are non-sellable and non-transferable, and will open in three days.'
'Ding! Detected that Cheng Shuang, the station manager of rest stop C-BLD1, has a temporary skill—the Grocery Store—that is about to be removed. Because the Grocery Store's function is similar to that of the Convenience Store, it can be used to upgrade some facilities in the Convenience Store before removal. Please select this skill as soon as possible! Removal countdown: ten, nine,…'
Cheng Shuang had barely settled in when she was stunned by the two mechanical announcements in the store. Grasping at just a few key words, she instinctively blurted out, "Upgrade the convenience store!"
Once she had fully regained her senses, the little girl patted her chest in relief, then opened her eyes wide with anticipation, not wanting to miss the convenience store's renovation process.
Liu Juan and the others who shared the same thought also looked around curiously. After a moment... the friends looked at each other and looked around. The convenience store was quiet and unchanged, but the sound of clicking came from the direction of the cash register.
"Tickets issued!"
Liu Juan walked over and took the six tickets. She glanced at them and read, "Animal Planet Resort Tickets." Then she pursed her lips and added, "Because Animal Planet is a normal living planet, the use of cards and pills will be restricted. Offensive skills cannot be used unless attacked."
"So the City of the Abyss is the Realm of Death, then the entire planet is the Land of Death, that's how it's divided!" Du Lanshan took his ticket and carefully examined his income space.
"In other words, the place we went to was just one of many areas," Du Lushui clicked her tongue. "There should be many such areas in the Land of Death."
Cheng Shuang was preoccupied with the upgrade, so she went to the cashier and turned on her computer to see if there were any clues.
The screen, which originally only contained two files—maintainer information and the store—now has an additional temporary file: upgrade and modification.
After she opened the document to check, she quickly called the person over.
Since the temporary skills don't belong to Cheng Shuang, the so-called upgrade and renovation is more like a space expansion and redecoration. The document has three options: expand the store by 100 square meters, add shelves and two rows of goods, and open a personal rest room.
"That's great!" Sun Han laughed. "Can we choose from all of them?"
Cheng Shuang shook her head happily, "I don't know." This was a complete surprise. The skills of the grocery store were very useful, but temporary is temporary. If the convenience store could be transformed to be more comfortable, it would feel almost like winning the lottery.
"The first choice is very important!" Du Jun stood behind the little girl, patted her shoulder, and asked, "Shuangshuang, do you have any suggestions?"
Seeing everyone looking at her, the little girl pursed her lips and suggested with bright, sparkling eyes, "How about we vote?"
"Seconded!" The thought of having a room to rest filled Liu Juan with a smile, and all her fatigue vanished. She immediately rummaged through old receipts and handed them out to several people, saying, "Write down the order of first, second, and third place. The one with the most first-place finishes will be selected."
The first option for the six people was unsurprisingly to add two columns of shelves and goods.
If a special item is hidden among the new shipments, it could be a huge profit.
The second option is a private rest room.
Convenience stores offer a comfortable temperature and a place to rest, but everyone needs privacy. After experiencing life and death, it's nice to get together with others and have fun, but a private resting environment is also important.
Fortunately, after the first item was pressed, the remaining buttons remained lit.
The little girl, fearing she might miss her chance, quickly lit the other two as well.
The light flashed by.
The convenience store has visibly doubled in size, with bright and clean windows and a brand-new look. Two new rows of shelves have appeared in the open area, and the door to what used to be the storage room is now open, with three colorful words flashing on the door: "Restroom".
Cheng Shuang's eyes widened in surprise. The storage room had a combination lock, and no matter what she entered, she couldn't open it. The young girl had tried several times and had almost given up completely, but now...
"Shuangshuang?" Liu Juan hurriedly handed over the tissues. Cheng Shuang's small face was looking in the direction of the storage room when her eyes unconsciously reddened.
Du Jun knew the reason to some extent. He patted the little girl's head and said softly, "Go and take a look!" He stopped the others who were looking excited and watched the little girl walk over like a lost soul before explaining, "The storage room of this convenience store is connected to Shuangshuang's apartment."
"This...this..." Du Lanshan clicked his tongue, "It's so close, it's really tough on this child, guarding the door every day but unable to get in!"
