Guide to Running a Shop in Another World

Chapter 115: The fourth store

Views:

Golden sunlight shone obliquely into the room from the window and fell on the floor one foot away from the bed.

Lu Yao was wearing a light blue nightgown, lying on her side on the pillow, her black hair sticking to her cheek, her breathing was long, and a corner of a light orange blanket was draped around her waist.

Three cat balls crawled all over her, making soft calls.

The kittens have been trained by the tiger cubs and have excellent self-care abilities. They usually don’t run around, and they are not locked in cages when they are brought back to the nail salon at night.

They have cat tags that give them access to special spaces.

Dai Jiaotai, Tianka and Pengci would come to wake Lu Yao up almost every day. Their ways of waking him up included but were not limited to pulling his hair, licking his fingers, meowing, or treating the owner like a toy, climbing up and down, and rolling around.

Sometimes when they are tired of playing, they will take a nap next to her.

This morning, the three little guys were particularly noisy.

Lu Yao frowned, and his neck felt like it was covered with a piece of red-hot charcoal, hairy, sticky, and hot and irritable.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked down sideways.

As expected, Pengci nestled in the middle of her neck again, wagging its tail and licking her hair vigorously with its mouth.

Lu Yao reached out, picked up the black and white sesame dumpling and brought it to the edge of the bed. He turned over and wanted to sleep a little longer.

It seemed that Dai Jiaopai was a little tired from playing. He lay down next to the pillow and licked his paws in slow motion.

Tianka thought Lu Yao had woken up, so he walked towards her in small steps, meowing, and rubbed her cheek with his head tilted.

Lu Yao held it in his arms and stroked it gently. The little thing stopped crying and began to snoring comfortably.

I don't know how long it took, but I felt a wet and slippery feeling on my feet.

Accompanied by the familiar scratching sensation, Lu Yao half sat up and curled up his toes tightly.

Very itchy.

The guy who was trying to scam her was licking her feet again.

The little thing was licking and mumbling at the same time. I don't know what he was mumbling about so early in the morning.

Lu Yao was no longer sleepy, but he couldn't do anything about Peng Ci. He sat there for a while, and suddenly remembered the "telepathy" that he didn't have time to try out yesterday. He came to see what Peng Ci was thinking at this moment.

She leaned forward, caught the victim, and held it in her hands.

"Telepathy" is an active skill. Touching the target is the first condition. The skill will only be cast when the skill user is willing to listen to the other party's voice.

Lu Yao used "telepathy" on the scammer and waited for several seconds, but nothing happened.

The victim struggled in dissatisfaction and tried to jump out of her hand.

Lu Yao was unwilling to give up and continued to touch it, thinking that this skill might be useless.

Why is there no reaction at all

After struggling for a few times and failing to break free, he simply lay down and began to lick Lu Yao's fingers, occasionally letting out a tender cry.

You know what, the psychological quality of this person who commits fraud is quite good.

Lu Yao smiled, the kitten was indeed very healing.

Suddenly, a proud and arrogant child's voice broke into Lu Yao's mind.

It felt very similar to the system speaking in her head, except for the different tone.

She was stunned for a moment, and was delighted to find that it seemed to be the sound of a car accident.

"Hehe, I'm the boss! prprprpr~" While licking Lu Yao's fingers, Pengci made his "boss" declarations from time to time.

Lu Yao: “…”

It turns out that it had been persistently licking her hair, toes and hands, all to prove that it was the boss.

Lu Yao remembered that this guy in the furry shop liked to wait for her to pass by, then roll on the ground, looking for an opportunity to scam her.

She thought that Pengci liked her very much, so he always looked for opportunities to stick to her.

It likes me, one of the three great illusions in life.

Hahaha.

Lu Yao has been holding on to the fraudster, and its inner voice has been translated into human language and transmitted to her brain.

"Lu Yao. Little brother. prprprpr~"

Baby, your saliva is almost dry, take a break.

I, Lu Yao, picked up the porcelain and pretended to lick it.

Touch porcelain: "!!!"

It suddenly froze and even closed its eyes.

Lu Yao was almost laughing like crazy, he understood the idea of the scammer, put aside his fear, and went to touch the sweet guy who was rolling around and acting coquettishly next to him.

Tianka stretched out his two paws forward, tilted his head and rubbed her palm, rolled over and stood up, leaned closer to sniff, and stretched out his tongue to lick Lu Yao's hand.

… Sweetie, you want to be the boss too

I didn't realize that she is so sweet, but she has two faces.

There is a slight delay in telepathy, and it takes about a few seconds before there is a response.

Sure enough, after a while, another child's voice sounded in Lu Yao's mind.

Tianka's voice is different from Pengci's. Pengci's voice sounds like a typical naughty little boy, while Tianka's voice is milky and gentle, like a quiet young master.

"I like my sister."

!!!

Lu Yao's heart was stabbed. This boy was too obedient.

I like you too, baby.

It turns out that when a cat licks a human's hand, it has different meanings.

This feels incredible.

Lu Yao touched Tianka again and reached out to grab Dai Tape who had fallen asleep.

I wonder what's going on in the little cat's mind

After waiting for a few minutes, I still didn't hear the voice of Dai Jiaopai.

It seems that the kitten's mind is empty when it sleeps.

Lu Yao glanced at the time and saw that it was almost twenty minutes later than usual, so he immediately got up and washed up.

Ji Feiming had already delivered breakfast, and the four adult cats had also been delivered to the Furry Shop.

While eating breakfast, Lu Yao's eyes fell on Harold, Si Jin and Tina.

Bird and animal version of telepathy, I wonder if it will work on dragons

Harold put down his bowl, frowned slightly, and looked over with his dark blue eyes, "What's wrong?"

Lu Yao: "Ah, nothing. Come eat, we'll be late for Dragon Valley."

"If I hadn't been waiting for you to get up for dinner, I wouldn't have been late." Harold muttered dissatisfiedly.

Lu Yao is too busy and usually has to work until late at night before returning to the nail salon to rest.

She didn't know when it started, but the foreign clerk at the nail salon would always wait for her to have breakfast together, like a fixed ritual.

It's still too much for the dragon.

Moreover, Harold's emotions were always written on his face, and it was easy to understand them without telepathy.

After breakfast, Lu Yao went back to his room to catch the kitten, as it was time to go to work.

The three little ones curled up together, huddled together beside the pillow, and fell asleep again.

The adhesive tape has not woken up yet.

Kittens are just like human babies. They love to eat, sleep and are cute.

Lu Yao carried the airline box and rushed to the furry shop impatiently.

She wanted to see what the big cats were thinking, especially the Two-Hearted Queen.

When Lu Yao arrived at the store, there were already customers.

The four big cats were all at work. As soon as the three kittens arrived, customers who were waiting to pet the cats immediately gathered around them.

Dai Jiaotai, Tianka and Pengci woke up quietly, rolled on the ground, and yawned.

The guests had fascinated eyes, as if their hearts were about to melt.

We all have to go to work, so it seems that we can't listen to their voices for the time being.

Lu Yao was about to go to the kitchen to take a look. Ji Feiming would come over to check on the store after delivering the goods.

He was looking after the guests in the lobby while Qingmei was busy in the kitchen.

Qingmei's cooking skills are better than Ji Feiming's, and the seafood in the restaurant is of good quality, so it doesn't require complicated cooking techniques. When the owner is not around, she takes the customers' orders.

When Lu Yao came in, Qingmei was cutting fish fillets, and there were sea urchins just taken out of the fish tank soaking in the sink.

"Shopkeeper, the water in the fish tank seems to be a little different from the sea water outside." When Qingmei was fishing in the morning, she inexplicably felt that the water quality in the pond was very good, but the water here was obviously pumped directly from the sea.

Lu Yao stood by the fish tank and blinked: "Why do I feel like they have grown a lot?"

She poured some crystal core nutrient solution into the fish tank last night to purify the water.

She tested it several times in a small bucket before using it.

After systematic testing, she found that the crystal core liquid could indeed purify seawater and was not harmful to fish, so she decided to use some in the tank.

Qingmei nodded: "It's not my illusion."

Lu Yao typed into the system: "What's going on? The fish won't mutate, right?"

After a while, the system spoke: [… Too much nutrient solution was poured in, and the fish are full.]

Lu Yao: "...Are you sure it's okay?"

System: [After changing the water in this pond, one drop of nutrient solution every three days is enough. It is enough to purify the seawater and provide nutrition for the fish. ]

After making sure there was no problem, Lu Yao picked up the fish fillet on the chopping board and took a bite. It was fresh, sweet, crispy, and seemed to taste better than before.

"Yeah, no problem, it's still delicious." Lu Yao nodded with satisfaction, and comforted Qingmei, "The water in the fish tank is indeed different from seawater. Impurities are filtered out through a special filter, and nutrient solution is added. The feed prepared for the fish is specially formulated, and it is normal for them to grow fat, so don't worry."

Qingmei felt relieved when she saw the owner eating sashimi without any hesitation.

She also tasted a piece, her eyes lit up, it was sweet and crispy, and her mood became better.

These fish are indeed fine.

Lu Yao peeled another sea urchin, cleaned it, and then scooped out a large piece with a small wooden spoon.

It is golden in color, plump and soft in the mouth, with a dense texture and sweet taste. It is indeed a little more delicious than yesterday's.

She was completely relieved.

There was a sudden commotion outside the store, and a customer was screaming.

Lu Yao put down the spoon, turned around and ran out.

The guests and the furry creatures working there hugged each other tightly, looking up in horror, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying.

Lu Yao looked up, his pupils shrank, his heartbeat suddenly quickened, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet and climbed up his back.

Such a huge sea beast is comparable to the little black dragon.

Once again, in the sea, for humans, the feeling of oppression is so strong that it is almost despair.

After being startled, Lu Yao looked carefully for a while.

It looked to be an adult humpback whale, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Humpback whales are huge in size, but they belong to the baleen whales and have no teeth. Their diet mostly consists of small fish and shrimps, and their personalities are much gentler than the "notorious" killer whales.

This humpback whale was chirping, making a sound like singing. It might have just happened to swim into this area in search of food.

Lu Yao relaxed and told the guests not to panic and just wait for it to swim over.

An adult humpback whale is more than ten meters long and swims slowly over the store like a huge black shadow.

Qingmei came out of the kitchen and looked up to see a humpback whale swimming over and then slowly turning back. She exclaimed in surprise, "That's it. It's here again."

Lu Yao was busy comforting the guests and didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"

Qingmei came over and explained, "It was the guest who came to look for you yesterday. It wandered outside for a long time, but didn't wait for you, so it left quietly."

She did mention this yesterday, but Lu Yao thought it was just a customer who came to the store to pet the cats.

Lu Yao: "… How did you know it came to me? Can you understand its voice?"

Qingmei shook her head. "It came very early, and there weren't many customers in the store at the time. It kept circling outside, and I watched it for a while, and it felt like its behavior was a bit like the killer whales that occasionally swim outside the store."

Sure enough, the humpback whale turned around and swam slowly towards the furry shop. When it was about to get close to the shop, it began to sing.

Lu Yao felt that Qingmei's speculation was very likely correct.

However, this humpback whale was not entangled in fishing nets, plastic or ropes, and it is unknown why it was asking for help.

Lu Yao put on his diving suit and prepared to go out.

When the guests saw the owner was leaving, they were all shocked. This was too much.

Even if humans are not on the humpback whale's diet, their size is so terrifying that even the slightest scratch from them in the water could result in serious injury.

Lu Yao opened the shop door and swam out slowly.

The humpback whale soon spotted her, swam closer, and actually stopped in front of her, "Mmm--"

These deep-sea giants are all more eloquent than the others.

Lu Yao swam around it and found no injuries, and had no idea what the sea beast wanted.

“Ming-ming—” The humpback whale looked at her kindly, its eyes seemed full of wisdom.

It seemed to be communicating with her.

Lu Yao suddenly had an idea and slowly reached out his hand, making a gesture as if to touch it.

The humpback whale shook its tail slightly, but did not avoid it and continued to make singing sounds.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Lu Yao felt that there seemed to be a hint of happiness in its cry.

When his fingers touched the skin of the giant whale, Lu Yao became slightly excited and silently used telepathy on it.

She wasn't sure if it would work. After about ten seconds, a magnetic and gentle voice sounded in her head.

It speaks very slowly, with a kind of ups and downs that are hard to describe, but it sounds quite nice.

Lu Yao also accurately learned the purpose of its coming here.
