Chapter 70
It is not easy for ordinary monsters to have a copy of their own.
The mall owner used to be just a low-level weak monster. He relied on his scary appearance to snatch this shabby mall, and devoured human energy bit by bit to grow and develop himself and this copy.
Has it been easy to get to where we are today? !
As a result, when a phone call came in and the mall owner heard the other party claiming to be the manager of the acquisition department of Shen Group, he felt like the sky was falling!
However, the owner of the mall knew the current situation very well and did not dare to offend the big boss Shen Yan. He could only rub his hands and try to get a turnaround:
"Boss Shen, you see, this mall has always been mine. I have been working diligently on human beings and have never made any mistakes."
"Besides, my mall is already a B-level dungeon. Monsters of this level are hard to find! Don't you think so..."
The monster chuckled, and his unfinished words were revealed very directly.
It is not easy to grab it, so the mall owner naturally wants to stay here for a long time.
Chen Yan didn't know when a report appeared in his hand. He frowned and looked at it with a heavy face.
Finally, Shen Yan raised his head and handed over the report.
"My assistant just sent me your financial report. Take a look at it yourself. Has this mall always been in a state of running out of money since you took over?"
Chen Yan pointed at the chart on the financial report, pointing to the first twenty years.
"For twenty years, after you took over the mall, you did nothing but hire people and hold some small events when there were no players."
"Let me ask you, where are the promotion days that all shopping malls have? And for some specific products, why don't you have other monster employees in your store? A small B-class mall, are you satisfied with this?"
After these words were spoken, the monster felt like he couldn't even lift his head up because of the criticism.
It looked at the financial statements in front of it, which looked like a heavenly book, with a confused look on its face. Its fat body trembled twice, and it couldn't help but look at Mr. Shen in front of it.
"Um, um, I don't understand!"
Shen Yan hummed, seemingly not surprised at all, and pointed out the monster's shortcomings in a cold voice.
"You are illiterate, of course you can't understand."
Then he added, "My brother knows more words than you."
The mall owner was scolded and felt that the sky was dark, as if the mall was moving away from him step by step.
Shen Yan pointed at the financial statements and pointed a way to the mall owner:
"Your mall is currently at level B, but it is large in size, and various stores should be utilized. For example, this instance can stipulate that players are not allowed to bring their own food and water, and you can purchase the goods and sell them to them at a high price."
This kind of bandit-like monopoly trading method is what Chen Yan likes most.
Looking at the monster in front of him whose confused eyes seemed somewhat clear, Shen Yan stood up with a look of disgust and straightened his clothes.
"Forget it. I will ask the manager to come and train you later. After that, your mall will be temporarily closed. You can return to work when you are finished with the training."
Upon hearing that he still had a chance, the mall owner nodded rapidly, looking humble and fawning.
"Okay, okay! Everything is up to you!"
Chen Yan took the financial statements away, planning to work overtime today to take a closer look at them, and by the way, have the company in the copy world compile a detailed mall development plan.
After acquiring Jiale Shopping Mall, the scale of Class B shopping malls under Chen Yan expanded to seven.
He thinks that these seven shopping malls can work together when they have nothing to do, to give players some unique copy experiences and increase the sense of freshness.
As for why this mall can invade reality...
Chen Yan felt that with the mall owner's stupid brain, he might just be sold out and have to help count the money, and he wouldn't be able to get any useful information out of him.
We still have to look for the reason from the school copy.
That should be considered the first small-scale invasion of Devouring Reality.
Thinking of this, Shen Yan walked to the half wall of the dessert shop and picked up Xing Nuo who was eating a small cake.
Xingnuo had a very full lunch. He only took a sip of the cream from the cake and dozed off with his head tilted to his side, holding his little face.
After being picked up by his brother, he could no longer open his half-closed eyes.
Putting his little face on his brother's shoulder listlessly, Xingnuo said in a vague and babyish voice:
"Brother, are you going to get a car and a big house?"
Although he was confused at the moment, he still remembered that he came to the mall to pick up a car.
Chen Yan rubbed the kid’s sleepy face and hummed softly.
"Okay, I'll go home after I get it."
After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked towards the first floor of the mall.
The booth where the car-winning event was held had already been turned into a mess by a few players, with broken limbs and blood everywhere.
The innocent shop assistants and customers were lying there covered in blood, dying miserably.
The dead cannot be resurrected.
Shen Yan sighed and took out an hourglass.
Fortunately, the shopping mall invaded by the terrorist world was just a copy.
In the dungeon world, high-level monsters are equivalent to the existence of gods.
***
In the noisy and bustling shopping mall, several naughty children were queuing in front of a booth selling cars.
The staff members were wearing blue vest uniforms, shouting loudly not to crowd, and using loudspeakers to promote their newly opened store.
The parents held their children's hands and enthusiastically talked about parenting.
Then, there was a wave in the space.
At some point, everyone paused quietly for several seconds, and the entire mall was silent.
For a moment, the confused clerk touched his chest, groaned a few times, and felt his arms going cold.
"It's so strange. I just felt so painful, like I was dead!"
"Hahaha! To be honest, I feel a bit creepy too!"
"No, I always feel like this mall is against me! I won't go shopping today, I'm leaving!"
The noise started again. Some customers continued to wander around as if nothing had happened, while others felt their backs were chilled and left in a hurry, rubbing their arms.
Chen Yan carried Xing Nuo, who was too sleepy to open her eyes, and successfully got down from the elevator on the fourth floor.
When arriving at the event booth, Xingnuo received a red cool car model from the staff in a daze.
With his little head drooped, Xingnuo handed the car to Chen Yan after knowing that each child could only get one.
"I'll go home to my brother later."
The brother he was talking about was Shen Baizhou.
That stupid octopus who was still waiting for Xingnuo to give him a car.
Chen Yan touched Xingnuo's little head helplessly and whispered, "Go to sleep."
Hanging the bag of the car on his arm, Chen Yan carried Xingnuo and took the car home.
Just one minute after they left, their neighbor on the third floor, Qi Yao, drove to the entrance of the mall at lightning speed.
Afterwards, the entire shopping mall was temporarily closed for rectification due to fire safety issues.
All the people coming to the mall were persuaded to leave, leaving only a few members of the special ability group to detect abnormal fluctuations.
***
Xingnuo took a nap in the car, and after returning home, he fell back into his father's arms in a daze.
Rubbing his little head against Chen Wen's shoulder, Xing Nuo consciously found a comfortable position and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.
Chen Wen patted Xingnuo's shoulder skillfully, his eyes and eyebrows revealing his unconcealable affection.
The soft little body was warm and soft. Shen Wen held Xingnuo in his arms, feeling the little cub's strong heartbeat, and his eyes seemed to melt along with it.
"Thank you for your hard work. It must be tiring to play with Xingnuo, right?"
After putting the little cub back to the bedroom to sleep, Shen Wen sat on the sofa and looked up at Shen Yan.
When facing Shen Wen, Shen Yan was respectful, his back was straight, and his tone was as if he was reporting to his superior, meticulous and serious.
"Not tired, but Xingnuo ate a small piece of bread and a small lunch, so we need to give him more vegetables for dinner."
A balanced diet will help the cubs grow stronger.
Shen Wen hummed and changed the subject:
"Have you found out why the copy appeared in the real world?"
Shen Yan shook his head, helplessness evident in his lead-gray eyes.
“No, it seems that he appeared inexplicably like this. When Shen Baizhou comes back, I will contact him about the situation at school.”
In the school copy, the vice principal seemed to know something.
Shen Wen responded calmly and said nothing more.
"You have a lot of copies, sort them out and don't let Xingnuo be pulled in for no reason."
It seemed that Chen Yan's reorganization was effective. Until Xingnuo started to attend the kindergarten class, both the real world and his own world were calm.
Xingnuo, who has officially turned four, is about to have his first sports meeting.
Xingnuo, who was crying with red eyes before going to school, came out after school wearing a small round hat, lined up, grabbed the clothes of the child in front of him, and walked out with short legs like a little duck.
The children were still shouting “one, two, one, two” as taught by the teacher. Their steps were not at all orderly and were just a mess, but they managed to sound very orderly.
Parents who were waiting at the door to pick up their children from school took out their mobile phones and happily recorded a cute video for their children.
Chen Wen doesn't like to use his mobile phone on a daily basis, but now he has learned how to record various videos and take photos without any instruction.
Eighty percent of the memory in his current mobile phone is filled with Xingnuo’s videos and photos.
Xingnuo was the second to last child. When he walked out of the kindergarten and saw his father, his round little eyes suddenly burst into bright light.
Letting go of the clothes of the child in front of him, Xingnuo ran two steps and threw himself into his father's arms.
"Dad! Are you here to pick up the cub?"
Chen Wen nodded, picked up Xingnuo, who had obviously grown a little taller, and tapped his little forehead.
"The teacher called your name in the group chat. Did you give the meat to other children during lunch?"
Speaking of this, Xingnuo shrank his head, looking guilty.
After officially entering primary school, Xingnuo has to stay in the kindergarten to eat lunch and will not officially leave school until 3:30 in the afternoon.
Because the school hours were extended, Xingnuo would run out to find her father and brother with tears in her eyes, holding her little pillow during her nap at noon every day.
The teacher chased the kid several times and picked him up again after he ran all the way to the door.
Xingnuo was lying on the crib for a nap, crying and unable to sleep, with a red nose. He was counting on his little fingers, wondering when his father would come to pick him up.
After finally getting through the nap time and eating some afternoon tea snacks that weren't tasty at all, Xingnuo and the other children were finally released.
Although he has been in kindergarten for more than half a month, Xingnuo still wipes his tears and cries for a while at noon from time to time.
But what bothers the teacher the most is that Xingnuo hardly likes eating meat.
Especially if there is a bit of greasy fat, Xingnuo will poke it here and there with chopsticks, and finally, when the teacher is not paying attention, secretly give it to other children or pour it into the trash can.
The teacher discovered this more than once and even deducted a red flower from Xingnuo.
