Chapter 050: Cute creatures eating melons in the refreshment room (2)
After listening to the system's announcement, Fang Yiran asked curiously, "Customer favorability... are they asking us to be waiters?"
"Hehe, even after dying once, you're still so stupid." A little girl's voice came.
When they looked back, they saw a little girl with big golden wavy hair, a purple velvet flower on her head, and a fluffy princess dress walking towards them.
This girl looks even cuter than Fang Yiran.
Liu Tang exclaimed: "Wow, she looks like a children's clothing model!"
Fang Yiran looked at the little girl for a long time, confused: "Who are you?"
The little blonde girl: "..."
A girl wearing brown overalls and twin ponytails rushed over, stood next to the blonde girl, and shouted with her hands on her hips, "You don't even recognize our all-around ACE, the top star Xiang Xiang. You stinky bastard, you think you're so great just because you're a senior, right?"
"Oh..." Fang Yiran nodded, "Who?"
The girl with twin ponytails was so angry that her cheeks flushed red. "We debuted as the center of a talent show. When we were in the group, many of our stage live-action videos had millions of views. Our personal singles also broke sales records many times. We have also participated in many box office champion movies, including..."
Xiang Xiang, with wavy blond hair, interrupted the fan beside her and said, "Forget it, there's no need to explain to him. This senior died young, so it's normal that he didn't recognize me."
Fang Yiran still looked innocent: "So, who are you?"
Top star Xiang Xiang: "..."
Twin-tailed fans: "..."
In fact, Fang Yiran was not completely unimpressed by Xiang Xiang, who wore a velvet flower on her head.
The variety show in which she debuted as the center was directed by Fang Yiran, and later the two signed with the same company.
That's why Xiang Xiang called him senior brother.
However, the first words the girl said to him were very rude. The girl next to her who seemed to be her die-hard fan even called Fang Yiran a "dye vat". He was too lazy to be nice to her and wanted to embarrass her.
At this time, players who knew Xiang Xiang appeared in twos and threes in the live broadcast room:
"Ah? How could she be dead? I remember she was quite young, right?"
"Are there not enough young people ahead, entering the 18th floor?"
"It's good to die at the most beautiful age."
"What you said before is so hellish. Ah, it seems like we are in the underworld. That's all right."
"This is so tragic! It would have been fine if I had died early, but now I've entered this dungeon. I'm going to die again soon..."
Seeing that these people did not continue to analyze the dungeon mission, Mo Qianhe turned to look at Liu Tang and got back to the point: "We probably need to please customers like pets."
Fang Yiran was the first to sound surprised when he heard this: "What do you mean?"
To show off that he was smarter than Fang Yiran, Xiang Xuan said, "This dungeon is called 'Cute Animal Refreshment Room.' Don't you think that if you translate it, it sounds a lot like 'Cat Cafe'?"
Fang Yiran is not the kind of person who turns a blind eye and refuses to listen. If he thinks the other person is right, he will take it to heart.
The curly-haired boy in a gold suit thought for a moment and said, "In cat cafes, customers can drink coffee while petting cats.
"Here, the guests are eating snacks and drinking tea while..."
Having said this, he couldn't continue.
Mo Qianhe looked at Fang Yiran seriously and said, "You're right. In this instance, we are like cats in a cat cafe."
Xiang Xiang shook his long hair and crossed his arms, saying, "This copy is disgusting. I won't try to please those animals."
Fang Yiran felt an indescribable humiliation when he thought about having to beg for food from customers like a cat.
Only Liu Tang held his face and said, "No wonder I'm so cute!"
Fang Yiran and Xiang Xiang: "..."
Brother, you really have a big heart.
Liu Tang looked at the two people in front of him who were somewhat speechless, and revealed an envious expression: "I really envy you. You are so cute, it will be easy to win the favor of the guests."
Fang Yiran immediately put his hands on his hips and raised his chin: "Of course!"
Xiang Xiang: “…”
Do you want to be led astray so quickly?!
At this time, the store manager came back carrying Lao Cheng.
Lao Cheng was quiet at this time, his eyes were empty, as if his soul had been taken away.
He had changed out of the clothes that he had torn himself and put on a new gray jumpsuit.
After placing Lao Cheng on a large table, the store manager smiled and said to everyone, "Well, let's welcome our first customer today~"
The store manager turned on the computer and played soft music in the store.
After hearing this, the players unconsciously relaxed.
Liu Tang could see the streets outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows around the store.
It's not a very prosperous place outside, it's more like a residential area.
The sunlight shines on the fallen leaves on the ground, bringing a hint of comfort.
Groups of humanoid animals walked by outside, their steps leisurely.
The first "person" to rush into the store was a birdman wearing a leather jacket.
She has a graceful figure, and the leather jacket and leather pants make her figure even more charming.
Although her beak looks sharp, it adds a bit of heroic spirit. The fiery red and fluffy feathers on the back of her head sway with her body, which is particularly eye-catching.
Liu Tang couldn't help but sigh: "She is so beautiful!"
Mo Qianke's alarm bells rang loudly.
The red bird girl walked in and shouted to the store manager, "Check it out! Check it out! I'm not late!"
The store manager pointed to the wall clock with human ears and said, "It's already five minutes past ten. You're late."
The bird girl was unconvinced and said, "No way! My phone shows it's only ten o'clock!"
The store manager held out his hand: "Let me see?"
The bird girl stepped back, clutching her phone tightly. "We've already spoken for quite a while, and the time is already up!"
The store manager waved his hand and told the bird girl to go to the kitchen to prepare. "If you're late, you'll be fined. Don't try to cheat."
The bird girl walked over a few steps, stuck close to the store manager, and said, "You made me stay up so late last night, and it was you who caused me to be late. How can you fine me?"
The store manager's claws grasped the bird girl's slender waist and hugged her, smiling ambiguously: "Rules are rules. But you worked hard last night, so I'll give you a bonus."
The bird girl then stepped back seductively and tapped the man's chest with her hand: "You bastard, you still have a conscience."
As she said that, she went into the dressing room to change her clothes.
The players who saw the two of them arguing in the dining area were all stunned as if they had been controlled for two minutes.
Liu Tang was the first to react, shouting excitedly, "Ha! They're having an affair! There's a melon!"
The blond Xiang Xiang watched the tug-of-war between the cat store manager and the bird store clerk, and thought of some unspoken rules in the circle, which made him feel not surprised.
Her fans, on the other hand, had a look of disgust on their faces: "It's disgusting to use relationships between men and women to gain benefits."
Fang Yiran looked at the fan girl with ponytails, then looked at Xiang Xiang.
Thinking about the rumors I had heard about the program's investors and Xiang Xiang, I felt mixed emotions.
I don’t know how this fan would feel when he finds out that his idol has also gone through this same path.
Fang Yiran is not a talkative person, so he doesn't plan to say anything.
Instead, Xiang Xiang heard the fans' words and said angrily, "She's able to use her connections, which is her ability. Some people want such resources but can't even get them."
The girl with twin ponytails looked at her idol in surprise: "Xiang Xiang, how can you say that? This is female self-objectification!"
Xiang Xiang glanced at the girl with twin ponytails and sneered, "Isn't it that I'm getting paid for my fandom by packaging myself as something you like? So I'm also objectifying myself?"
The girl with twin ponytails was speechless for a moment. She always felt that her idol was wrong, but she didn't know how to refute him.
On the other side, a little boy with shifty eyes climbed onto the table using the special stairs for children in the store and came to Lao Cheng.
He looked around and saw that the other players' attention was focused on Xiang Xiang. Then he whispered to Lao Cheng, "Brother Cheng, are you okay? What did the store manager do to you?"
Lao Cheng shuddered when he heard this.
His empty eyes slowly came back to life and he turned to look at the little boy beside him.
Lao Cheng remembered this person. They had worked together in the previous copy.
The other party followed his lead, which was very useful at the time.
Not only did the two of them work together to kill other players, but this guy also "gave" most of his points to him.
Lao Cheng was very satisfied.
"Xiao Shu? Long time no see." Lao Cheng said to the boy in front of him a little tiredly.
Shu Mu nodded as if relieved: "Yes, I am Xiao Shu. Brother Cheng, you still recognize me."
However, times are different now.
Lao Cheng has been forced to participate in dozens of copies continuously.
He now just feels exhausted both physically and mentally.
Shu Mu noticed that Lao Cheng was distracted and asked, "Brother Cheng, what are your plans now? Do you want to continue the cooperation?"
Lao Cheng knew that this man was a ruthless character just like himself in the past.
If he didn't cooperate with him, he would probably be plotted against, so he had no choice but to agree: "Old rules, if you get points, you will return a portion to me based on your contribution."
Shu Mu finally felt relieved after hearing Lao Cheng's answer.
Fortunately, the other party was still the old Cheng who made him feel at ease.
As long as Lao Cheng is around, he can rest easy and rest assured.
You can get a lot of points by mindlessly completing the tasks assigned by the other party.
Lao Cheng did not focus on the player named Shu next to him, but instead paid attention to Liu Tang who was not far away.
He was very surprised. Wasn't this person an NPC before? How did he become a player?
During this period, he has not been able to return to the rest area of the underworld, so naturally he has no channels to check the player forums, let alone buy information from Wantong Pavilion.
None of the information obtained from other players had anything to do with Liu Tang.
Lao Cheng must find an opportunity to talk to Liu Tang alone.
So he said to Shu Mu, who was looking shifty at the side, "Let's split up first. Don't let others suspect that we are working together. I'll find a chance to exchange information with you later."
Shu Mu's eyes rolled quickly, and he chuckled to show that he understood. He turned around and climbed over to sit at another table.
After sitting down, Shu Mu suddenly remembered that Lao Cheng seemed to have never answered him from beginning to end what he had experienced after being taken away by the boss, nor did he ask him to sign a system contract like the last time they worked together.
During the entire process, no other players looked directly at them.
However, Mo Qianhe kept staring at Lao Cheng through his reflection in the glass.
He witnessed everything.
Mo Qianhe remembered that the player who talked to Lao Cheng was wearing a yellow-green pullover and must not be a good person.
The store manager was originally standing behind the cash register, looking at the street outside the store.
At this moment he suddenly moved, walked to the door of the store and opened it.
He said to a customer who had paused for a few seconds outside the door, "Sir, would you like to come in and take a look? First-time customers will receive a free pet snack."
Standing outside the door was a lop-eared golden retriever.
He was wearing loose sportswear and looked a little sloppy.
The golden retriever's big eyes have drooping corners, making it look particularly innocent and pitiful.
He is not good at dealing with other animals. If a waiter from another store greets him like this, he will just quickly look away and walk away.
But this store manager is different.
This Black Cat store manager is so handsome.
He was so affable and graceful that it was hard to resist him.
The humanoid golden retriever hesitated for a while, but still walked slowly towards the gentleman store manager unconsciously.
The black cat walked slowly and led him into the store.
After entering the door, the golden retriever seemed to wake up from a dream and realized that he should not be here.
But the glass door behind him was closed, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit at a round table under the guidance of the store manager.
A group of little kids in the room, not even as tall as his knees, were staring at him with their big watery eyes.
The golden retriever rarely felt any discomfort.
It seemed that because these little dolls were not of the same species as him, they looked so innocent that he did not feel like they were being stared at or judged.
The store manager gestured to the QR code on the table and the multiple screens hanging in the store, saying, "You can scan the code to order, or you can look at the menu on the display and ask me to place your order. We also have discounted meal plans on the Animal Group platform, you can also check it out."
The golden retriever nodded a little awkwardly, its ears wagging along with his movements.
Rather than asking someone to place an order, he prefers to scan the QR code with his mobile phone to order food, which makes him more relaxed.
He looked through the electronic menu and found that the snacks and tea here were not cheap.
But there was no way, I had already sat down and could only bleed.
He had just placed an order when he suddenly felt his ears itchy.
The golden retriever looked up and saw a little baby in a powder blue shirt climbing up the wooden post next to him and reaching out to touch his ears.
After touching its ears, the doll looked at its hands, babbled something, and then giggled at him.
The golden-haired boy was slightly stunned, and felt like his heart was about to melt.
This little cutie is so cute.
After Liu Tang touched the golden retriever's ears, he smiled and said to Mo Qianhe on the other side of the pillar, "So soft and furry."
At this time, he saw a red heart appear on his little arm, which looked like a lotus root node, and the "0" next to the red heart rose to "5".
I heard the system announce: "Congratulations on gaining the customer's favor. You are the second player to gain favor and will receive an additional 5 points of favor."
Then, the number on Liu Tang’s arm rose to “10”.
