The follow-up to the oe that "we" expect (XI)
The red pendant is shaped like a water drop and hangs on Z01's right ear. Although it looks very flat from a pixel perspective, after seeing it with his own eyes in the pixel world, Xiaoshilong, who likes shiny things, was successfully attracted and developed a new hobby - playing with earrings.
Whether lying on Z01's shoulder or sitting on it, there is always a shiny pendant dangling beside you. The surface is so smooth that it is hard not to touch it.
There was only one earring. Jiang Yuanshi touched it and asked Z01, "Is there only one?"
Z01: "They are different colored earrings, the other one is blue."
Jiang Yuanshi (touching): "Where did the other one go? You only bought half?"
Z01 wanted to say that if you buy something halfway, you will be blocked by the store owner, but he still answered honestly: "I bought them all, and I didn't wear the other one."
"Why?" Jiang Yuanshi asked, seeming to have completely forgotten his original question.
"I'm afraid you're too busy."
"?"
The streets were bustling with people. When Jiang Yuan came to a new world for the first time in his life, he was torn between touching the earring and looking around. He was in a dilemma. In the end, he sat on Z01's shoulder with the earring in his hands, observing the new world with his eyes, his head and body doing their own things, and he still had time to talk to Z01 with his mouth.
Z01 imagines if the host also wears earrings on the other side, will he go back and forth between the two sides?
Analysis result: one hundred percent.
Although I really want to experience the feeling of being surrounded by the host, on the street, the rotating dragon is likely to block my vision and greatly consume my physical strength, so we won't be able to go house hunting together.
However, buying a house is a piece of cake for them now.
Because Z01 had so much money that he couldn't spend it all, he just arrived at the house sales center, opened the map and house information, and started with the most expensive ones, which came with furniture and fine decoration (which could be removed at will), and came with fields outside the city and a teleportation array. It was like buying a house and getting a garage for free, and the garage was right at your doorstep.
In addition, there is an area next to the fields outside the city for players to design houses. Originally, players had to collect materials and build them themselves, but the materials are delivered with the rich-level houses, so players don't have to search all over the mountains and fields to find them, nor do they have to spend money to buy materials.
For players who have played all the way from the Novice Village to the Endless City and whose backpacks explode, it is a small gift. But for players like Jiang Yuanshi who start with zero materials and only food, it is a big profit.
Facts have proved that people cannot come into contact with too good things at the beginning, because after seeing good things, they will look down on other ordinary things. In the past, they would have to give up their expectations due to lack of money and regretfully choose an ordinary room, but Z01 accidentally opened the attribute column, and countless 9s appeared in front of Jiang Yuanshi.
Jiang Yuanshi: “…”
It's hard to doubt that it wasn't intentional.
[Beep——House purchase successful, level of rich. 】
Finally, she couldn't resist the temptation. With the earrings in her hand, Jiang Yuanshi looked up to the sky and lamented that her willpower could be easily shaken.
After buying a house, you have to choose a geographical location. When you expand the map, you will see various locations. The only difference is that the houses far away from the commercial area are larger and mainly used for living, while the first floor of the houses in the commercial area are mostly shops.
Z01 asked Jiang Yuanshi what he thought. In reality, Jiang Yuanshi, as a otaku, would prefer a place with few people, quiet but with plenty of takeout for delivery. However, this is a game, so he asked Z01: "If we choose the shops on the first floor, what should we sell?"
Z01 blinked, and opened the inventory the next second. He didn't know when the twenty-slot inventory had been filled up. Apart from the clothes he had just bought, the rest were all food of high-quality grade or above, and the quantity of each type of food was 999. Looking at the price, the lowest unit price was more than 500 gold coins.
If you sell all the lowest-priced food, you can make nearly half a million.
Jiang Yuanshi was calculating in his mind and felt like he had fallen into a mountain of money. He said, "How about opening a grocery store? Selling food. After expanding the backpack, you can also add some equipment parts. Sell them all together?"
Z01: "Sure."
The house has been chosen.
It is in the corner of the commercial district, where you can buy things and it is not too noisy. There is a food store on the left, a dessert shop on the right, and a small shop within a hundred meters.
It's perfect and you can eat it when you're hungry.
It is exactly what Hungry Dragon wants at the moment.
Of course, Z01 was also very satisfied, because the first floor of this house was a shop. For Jiang Yuanshi, whose current stamina and health points were both 10, flying from the first floor to the second floor would consume one-third of his stamina, so a human-powered elevator was better. After the flight, Jiang Yuanshi was so tired that he lay on Z01's shoulder and thought it was a wrong decision.
But the house is very good, with fine decoration so he doesn't have to decorate it himself. Although Jiang Yuanshi would buy decorations when playing the game, most of them were included in the missions or for collecting achievements. Basically, the house is a mess of styles, with whatever is available placed in it. The most useful thing is the bed.
Players who like decoration can choose to modify the layout, while players who are too lazy to decorate can directly get a finished house, saving time and effort.
Jiang Yuanshi lay on Z01's shoulder, and the earrings would occasionally brush against his head as Z01 walked.
He changed direction, with his butt facing forward and his head hanging over his shoulders, and the tail and the dangling pendant began to play a round game.
The pendant swung over and the tail hit back.
Z01 turned into a one-armed man, and when he moved his shoulder, Xiaolong almost fell over. After taking a photo, he continued to take the host to see the new house.
The house has three floors, with shops on the first floor and residential areas on the second and third floors, and is fully furnished and equipped.
After looking at the house, the two people began to reduce the weight of their backpacks. After putting their clothes into the closet on the second floor, they came to the shop on the first floor and put the food into the existing shelves and windows. The shop needed to register for a business license, so they went to the certificate center to apply for a business license.
The store needs to be named, Jiang Yuanshi is responsible for the name, and Z01 is responsible for the input.
Originally wanted to call it the Nameless Grocery Store, but the center rejected it because of the same name.
Jiang Yuanshi scratched his head. This was the original name of the shop opened by the hero and Sasa in the game mission. If they were following the story from the end, then maybe they already had a shop under their name?
After a search, they found that the store was in trusteeship, meaning it was rented to someone else and the registrant could not see it.
There was no other way. Finally, after some discussion, the two decided to name it after their own abbreviations. At first, "ZS Grocery Store" was shown as banned, and Jiang Yuanshi was puzzled. It was Z01 who provided the idea, and he concluded that "self-understanding" was a banned word in Chuanshuju.
But this abbreviation doesn't mean that, right? Jiang Yuanshi was puzzled.
What a sensitive bookstore.
Thanks to the reminder from Chuanshuju, Jiang Yuanshi’s first reaction when he saw SZ was that he was an idiot. He was really doomed.
It’s hard to name something.
After a final round of random typing, a name that passed the review was selected: [Zhi Shi Grocery Store].
Selected by Z01.
Jiang Yuanshi glanced at it and asked, "Are you sure the beginning isn't an input method error?"
Z01: "Is this not possible?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "Do you like it?"
Z01: “.”
Okay, that's it, although I don't understand why.
On the way back to the store, the two bought some ice cream, roasted chicken legs, self-igniting marshmallows, weird rice bowls, crispy French fries... After they had a good meal, they bought some wood, stones, etc., and knocked on a plaque on the workbench in the shop.
【Shi Shi Grocery Store】
Jiang Yuanshi looked up at Z01 who was climbing the ladder to calibrate the center. He had a serious and expressionless face, and the pendant on his ear was swinging.
Jiang Yuanshi shook his head, retracted his gaze, flapped his wings and flew to the door handle, took off the small doorplate hanging around his neck and hung it on the handle: [Closed today]
There was a sign outside the gate that read:
[The store is open from 8am to 9pm. The items in the store vary. The owners sell whatever they find when they go out. The prices are clearly marked. Often the store is unmanned, so you can buy on your own.
Note: The store is under surveillance magic range. Thieves who leave will be teleported to the police station. Please do not steal (thieves will receive a 10% discount on subsequent purchases)]
Z01: (Knock, knock, knock)
Jiang Yuanshi looked up in confusion: "Z01, what are you doing?"
Z01: "It's crooked. Replay it."
Jiang Yuanshi really wanted to say that the game can be corrected with one click, and Z01 should know this, and it seems that he really likes to get started.
Jiang Yuanshi sighed, flapped his wings and flew upwards: "Come a little more to the left."
…
Finally done.
Jiang Yuanshi's physical strength: 1
Z01 physical strength:? ? ?
[Inside the food store].
Jiang Yuanshi lay on Z01's shoulder, weakly opened his mouth to take the steak from the fork handed to him by Z01, chewed it intermittently, and it felt like he would fall asleep in the next second.
Z01 cut the steak into small cubes of equal size and waited for Jiang Yuanshi to finish eating it.
Jiang Yuanshi: "Eat by yourself. I eat very slowly now."
Z01: "It's okay. We can do both at the same time."
Z01 held a fork in one hand and passed the meal to Jiang Yuanshi, and held a knife in the other hand to cut another plate of steak into several large pieces, inserted the tip of the knife into the meat and put it into his mouth. His behavior was simple and rough, but there was a sense of elegance when he ate, as if it had been automatically corrected.
But Z01's other hand never stopped feeding, as if Z01's side face was also monitoring the situation. As soon as Jiang Yuanshi swallowed, the next piece of meat was brought to his mouth, just like feeding a child, one mouthful after another.
Jiang Yuanshi stuffed meat in his mouth and sighed: "Your way of feeding is just like my grandmother's, force-feeding."
Z01 paused: "Sorry, is that too fast?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "It's okay, but the technique is really similar. When I was a kid and couldn't hold a spoon, I ate like this. My grandmother always held the bowl and the spoon and stuffed it into my mouth. As soon as I swallowed it, she would coax me to open my mouth and put another bite in."
"You didn't refuse?"
"No, after all, my grandma's cooking is delicious." Jiang Yuanshi ate the meat, as if reminiscing, "But because it was so delicious, I was fed like a Michelin tire when I was a child."
Z01: ?
Z01 searched for "human children" and "Michelin tires". The moment the picture popped up, he fell silent. How should I put it? It was very strange. It felt like the appearance that the bookstore system would like. Z01 suspected that the information he searched was insufficient, so he searched again, but the results were similar.
“Are you sure it’s the tire?”
Jiang Yuanshi looked up and thought: "Maybe it's an exaggeration? Like one piece of lotus root at a time?"
Z01 Input keyword search: "..."
A little better.
It’s unbelievable that Jiang Yuanshi looked like that when he was a child.
Z01 took a look at Jiang Yuan who was eating and saw a complicated ball of thread appearing on his head.
While Jiang Yuan was chewing, he asked: What are you thinking about?
