Guide to Running a Shop in Another World

Chapter 117: The fourth store

Views:

Lu Yao kept touching the killer whale's teeth with his fingers and waited for several minutes, but he still didn't hear the killer whale's voice. He gradually began to feel something was wrong.

The bird and animal version of telepathy applies to all non-human creatures. If you can't hear your inner voice, there is only one possibility - this killer whale is not a real killer whale.

Deep-sea fish know to avoid isolated schools of fish, so there is no reason why killer whales cannot distinguish between their own kind.

If there really is someone who can deceive the killer whale's natural sonar detection and be accepted as one of the same species, Lu Yao can only think of one person.

The mysterious young man who appeared in the first store, she later thought carefully and realized that she had actually met him in all three worlds.

The first store was possessed by Bai Ming, and the second store was owned by the high priest. The fairies later told her that the real high priest Carlos had passed away more than ten years ago, and the one who contacted her from the beginning was the young man with silver hair and red eyes.

In the third store, he made a deal with the Balance Compass, transformed into a golden lotus, and opened the second round for the destroyed Impermanence World.

He was always hiding bones, and Lu Yao inexplicably started collecting bones.

This person did not appear for no reason, he must have some connection with the dream fulfillment system.

Lu Yao tried to guide the system, but this time the little system was too tight-lipped.

At the same time, there is also a possibility that the system itself does not know the relationship between itself and the red-eyed young man.

She often felt that the system's stupidity was not pretended, it was indeed not very smart.

Lu Yao still doesn’t know what her wish is. Sometimes she is confused as to why she can’t remember her wish but wants to realize it.

The appearance of the young man with red eyes also seemed to be related to wishes.

The first time he appeared, he was a clerk; the second time, he seemed to be a bystander; the third time, he was a villain...

What is the connection between her wish, the dream-fulfilling system and the young man with red eyes

Even Lu Yao himself began to feel curious.

And at the end of the last world, he said he would kill her.

This time, she was actually waiting.

Based on past experience, it can be inferred that eye color is his trademark and cannot be hidden.

She usually pays special attention to guests who wear glasses.

As a result, he turned into a killer whale and mixed into the orca group.

If I hadn't acquired telepathic skills, I would have been fooled by him to the end.

Lu Yao suppressed all her thoughts and tilted her head to look at the killer whale holding her wrist.

Above the white markings, the killer whale’s small eyes are clear and innocent, and it is difficult to identify the pupil color at first glance.

But she was already 80% sure that this guy must be him.

Lu Yao was in no hurry to expose the truth. He returned to the furry shop, waved to the killer whale, and prepared to enter the store.

The orca cub wanted to ask her to go out and play, but she was too tired, so she stood at the steps and tried to reason with it softly.

The killer whale cub naturally didn't understand, so it opened its mouth and tried to take her out.

The male killer whale gently pushed the cub away, "Bing."

The killer whale cub spun in a circle on the spot, making a series of "weeping" sounds and started to throw a tantrum.

"Hmm..." The male killer whale made two "hmm" sounds, and suddenly noticed Lu Yao's interested gaze. He paused almost imperceptibly, then turned around and swam away quickly.

The killer whale cub felt a little aggrieved: "…嘤."

The male killer whale swam away without looking back, leaving no room for negotiation, and the cub chased after him, crying.

Lu Yao returned to the store in a good mood, took off his diving suit, and took a hot bath.

She was too tired today and didn't have the energy to go out and pick up trash, so she planned to rest in the afternoon.

Lu Yao came out of the bathroom and saw a group of customers gathered at the door of the store. It seemed that something had happened again.

Qingmei was standing at the door. When she saw the owner come out, she immediately shouted, "Another humpback whale is swimming over here."

Lu Yao slipped. Come again

"Ming-ming--" The song of humpback whales lingered in the air, and Lu Yao moved towards the door in small steps with a wooden face.

The guests dispersed consciously and made room for others.

Lu Yao appeared at the door, and a humpback whale swam over, seemingly holding something in its mouth.

When it approached the store, it slowly opened its mouth and the huge lobster trapped by the seaweed spilled out.

After pouring the lobster, the humpback whale raised its head slightly towards Lu Yao, waving its flippers and singing happily.

Lu Yao recognized it as the humpback whale from the morning. It was a false alarm. He didn’t have to wash another big whale. He relaxed and asked tentatively, “Give these to me?”

Because they have no teeth, humpback whales mainly feed on krill and some small fish.

I don’t know where it found so many big lobsters, and it even put them in seaweed. Its IQ is a bit insane.

It seemed to have come specifically to deliver the lobster to Lu Yao. It paused for a moment, greeted her, and then swam away chirping.

The guests at the door stared with wide eyes.

"Is this the whale from this morning? It even knows how to deliver things. I feel like the aquatic creatures here are a little too smart."

"Those killer whales often come to the store owner and give him fish and shrimps."

"This lobster is so fat and alive. Can I order it? I want to eat lobster sashimi."

"The sea is very cold, and the seafood porridge is not bad."

The customer who just said he wanted to eat seafood porridge gradually degenerated into a goose yellow garden eel, which was surrounded by bubbles and slowly flew out of the furry shop.

The autistic fish have adapted to life in the garbage sea. They pet cats and eat seafood in the furry shop. When they are bored, they go out to pick sea urchins and catch fish. Their life is easy and comfortable.

Once people lie down, they tend to become lazy, and some people begin to feel that living here is not bad.

Lu Yao felt that this sea seemed to have its own rules, and once the autistic fish recovered, they would be sent away immediately.

Another person is sent away, mission progress +1.

Lu Yao asked Qingmei to bring a large bucket from the kitchen, pick up the big lobsters in front of the store and throw them into the bucket. After filtering them, they were thrown into the fish tank.

A rough count revealed that there were about a hundred of them, and it took three or four buckets to clean them all up.

Lu Yao picked out thirty large lobsters and took out three baskets of other seafood and asked Xiao Ji to deliver them to the snack bar.

One third is made into ingredients and sold in the store, one third is made into blind boxes of ingredients and sent to blind box stores, and the last third is made into seafood employee meals, which are shared by employees of all four stores.

Today's happiness comes from seafood.

-

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines along the window sill, coating the mountains, clouds and forests with a gentle warm color.

The seabed gradually became colder and colder, and the guests were accustomed to leaving before dark and returning to where the autistic fish gathered.

Being with one's own kind at night is more reassuring than being anywhere else in the deep sea.

Erxin was lying on the low table with his belly turned up, his paws curled up, and his expression was lazy and tired.

Lu Yao had been waiting for this moment all day. He squatted down and rubbed Er Xin's belly, exerting spiritual inspiration.

"worn out… "

Erxin's natural voice was soft and seductive, but the voice that entered Lu Yao's mind was the pleasant and aggressive voice of a queen. It was indeed the Queen.

Lu Yao listened for a while and realized that Erxin was a "snobbish" cat who was consistent in appearance and heart, with a lot of inner drama.

She complained that the guests didn't feed her dried fish and kept pinching her paw pads.

In fact, Lu Yao had specifically told me not to feed Er Xin too many snacks.

She was too greedy and gained weight very quickly. She was lazy and didn't like to move. She was the best at begging for food by acting cute, and she was more skilled than the smaller ones.

Every guest who sees it likes it and wants to feed it.

Erxin had already started to move towards the gas tank, so Lu Yao hung a small sign in the store, asking customers to feed Erxin as little food as possible.

Erxin was too good at acting like a spoiled child, and the guests had a hard time enduring it, but they didn't expect that they still ended up earning Erxin's hatred.

Lu Yao also planned to find a time to send her for sterilization surgery, but in this case it would be better to let Xiao Ji do it.

Erxin had no idea of the owner's arrangement. He turned over, rubbed his big round face with his hands, and began to snore.

"I like the eldest one the most. He brings meat back every day!"

"Boss, I want to eat meat!"

Lu Yao wanted to laugh. No wonder he was so attached to her. It turned out he was attracted by her “hunting” skills.

Erxin is indeed a smart little cat, he knows who is the one who feeds him.

At this time, Boxer Pants passed by and called out cautiously, as if he also wanted to rub against Lu Yao.

Erxin suddenly stood up, ran over and gave Boxer Pants a "Shadowless Meow Punch".

The man in boxer shorts was lying on the ground in a cowardly manner, but he was very unforgiving and kept talking trash.

This made Erxin impatient, and he hit it a few more times.

After the fight, Erxin walked back to Lu Yao in small and graceful steps, his round cat eyes full of innocence, "Meow."

Lu Yao: “…”

Lu Yao walked over and grabbed the boxer briefs.

The long-haired cow stayed quietly in her arms, her voice drawn out, as if somewhat reluctant.

"You hug me and hug me again. Do you like me that much?"

"Humans are so perverted, huh."

A magnetic male voice with a complaining tone reached Lu Yao's ears, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was because he really disliked it or was just being arrogant.

Lu Yao squatted down and silently put down his boxer briefs.

Can't afford to offend.

The boxers were suddenly put back on the floor. He looked back at Lu Yao in a daze, his amber eyes full of confusion, as if asking: "Why don't you hug me anymore?"

White Socks, Cha Cha, Peng Ci, and Tian Ka have already been put into the airline box by Ji Feiming. Lu Yao turned around to look for the adhesive tape.

The little guy was squatting in front of the wall membrane, watching the aquatic creatures floating outside, and was fascinated.

Lu Yao scratched its head to get its attention, then he grabbed it into his arms and listened to what the child was thinking.

"Ah, it's my sister. It's time to go home."

The clear and pleasant voice of a young boy reached Lu Yao's mind, and the adhesive tape was still pushing towards Lu Yao's arms.

"I like the smell of my sister."

Lu Yao couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. It turned out that the moral education of cats should start from their cubs.

Except for the rebellious son who committed the fraud, Tianka and Dai Jiaotai are too well behaved.

In comparison, the world of adult cats is complex and realistic, with intertwined desires, and is not simple at all.

In Erxin's eyes, she was a tool to provide food.

In the eyes of boxers, she is a pervert.

White Socks and Cha Cha haven’t come into contact yet, and Lu Yao doesn’t want to “humiliate himself” for the time being.

-

Lu Yao rested for half a day and secretly drank a bottle of recovery potion at night, which greatly relieved his muscle soreness.

In the morning, she arranged the daily affairs of several shops and started diving into the sea to pick up garbage.

The autistic fish school has been active recently, and the number of customers coming to the store to play and relax has increased visibly.

The space of the store is now a bit narrow, and there are still too few furries. Lu Yao wants to upgrade the store as soon as possible and continue to increase the number of furries.

This mission comes with the reward of a free store upgrade, and the mission progress has been steadily improving.

There is no need to worry about the tasks for now. Lu Yao will start to focus on popularity. There is no harm in saving more.

She still followed the direction of the autistic fish school and headed towards the garbage mountain.

There is the most garbage in that place, so it is not difficult to pick it up.

This area was much more spacious than at the beginning, and a path gradually appeared where Lu Yao had picked up the things.

She swam forward along the path, hoping to pick up some large items to boost her popularity.

“Hmm.”

A sudden voice sounded and Lu Yao paused.

“Hmm.”

After a moment, a short "ying" sound as if squeezed from the throat rang out again.

Lu Yao raised his head and looked around, and his sight suddenly stopped on a slope piled with metal garbage.

An adult killer whale was pinned down by the garbage, with only its head and half of its tail sticking out, seemingly unable to move.

Lu Yao swam up along the gentle slope, and the more he looked at the killer whale, the more familiar it seemed.

A guess came to her mind, and she reached out to touch its smooth head, but sure enough, she heard no sound.

"Hmm." The killer whale seemed a little aggrieved.

Lu Yao tried his best to hold back the corners of his mouth that were about to turn up, pretending to check the situation, swimming around it up and down, and finally found the mark under its tail.

It also has the cross-shaped wound that is only found in autistic fish.

Originally, its body was smooth and beautifully streamlined, with no wounds, but Lu Yao could not be completely sure.

The wound was on its tail, hidden underneath where it could not be easily seen.

"Hmm?" It seemed to realize something, uttered a question, and wagged its tail vigorously.

The tails of aquatic creatures are generally very beautiful. Lu Yao has not observed other killer whales. The tail of this male killer whale is black, and there is a narrow white pattern on the tip of the tail, like the French edge in manicure, which is quite delicate.

"Don't move!" Lu Yao patted it gently, "I'll help you."

This guy must have some purpose for staying here.

Lu Yao couldn't figure out why it was stuck in the garbage dump, but it might really be an accident.

He really seems to dislike crying. Just now, he cried several times in a row in order to ask for help.

Lu Yao lifted the machine and cleared away the large pieces of garbage that were pressing on the killer whale.

The killer whale regained its freedom, made a few symbolic "beeps", then circled back and stopped beside Lu Yao, refusing to move away.

Lu Yao: "Do you want to pick up trash with me?"

"Hmm." The killer whale looked at her with its small eyes, an innocent look on its face.

This guy really acted.

Lu Yao didn't say anything else and started picking up trash again with the machine on his back.

As expected, the killer whale was unwilling to leave and kept following her.

It is really different from other killer whales. It is taciturn and hardly speaks.

If it weren't for its huge size, Lu Yao would often ignore its existence.

The diving ended in the morning. Lu Yao did not encounter it in the afternoon and went to the garbage mountain alone.

As evening approached, Lu Yao returned.

The harvest was good, and the popularity points accumulated were close to 70,000 in that day.

Lu Yao returned to the store, feeling tired but in a very happy mood.

When Ji Feiming saw her, his eyes lit up slightly, and he walked over and whispered, "Shopkeeper, when you were away this afternoon, a killer whale came and dropped a bag of eels at the door."

Lu Yao: “???”
