Guide to Running a Shop in Another World

Chapter 180: The fifth store

Views:

The residents of the Sea of Eden world believe in the Mother Goddess and the ocean. There is little land there, and sea water accounts for more than 99% of the entire world.

The city is surrounded by the sea, and its development is tight and constrained; only the ocean is boundless, free and mysterious.

Lu Yao checked the data carefully. The two worlds with different histories and development directions - the Sea of Eden and this world - have basically the same evolutionary direction and living habits of deep-sea creatures, except that there are some differences between individuals.

Perhaps the Sea of Eden world is more suitable for the survival of marine life. Under the vast sea, there live not only arthropods, brachiopods, seaweed, and large sea beasts, but also many ancient creatures, and even ancient fish and shellfish that became extinct in the Devonian period.

The people in this world make their livings on the sea, and have done a lot of exploration and research on the ocean, preserving many of their research results through text and images.

Among the three films that Lu Yao bought in Yeguang City, there were two documentaries, one of which recorded the story of human beings' pursuit of deep-sea creatures, titled "Searching for Deep-Sea Monsters".

At this moment, the trailer for "In Search of the Deep" was playing on the cinema's advertising screen - on the clear sea, a small white boat was swaying with the wind and waves. With a "splash", a man in a diving suit jumped into the water and slowly swam towards the depths of the sea.

He dived into a dark blue realm and encountered a group of huge fish with their heads up and bodies upright, motionless, as if they were performing some mysterious ritual.

The man was also curious about the meaning behind their behavior, so he swam closer and closer...

There are no intense plots or lines, only a deep blue sea, a group of fish with huge heads and a human who seems to be swimming towards death on his own initiative. The intense feeling of suffocation, like drowning, almost overflows from the screen.

Ku Ba frowned, his face full of resistance, and even subconsciously took a small step towards Ye Xiao.

He didn’t feel this uncomfortable even when Fu Chi had his blood drawn during a physical examination the day before.

The human who was seeking death swam closer. Compared with the huge body of the deep-sea monster, the human's body looked so small and pathetic.

The last frame of the trailer stops at an extremely terrifying scene - a huge and mysterious deep-sea monster slowly opens its eyes.

… I couldn’t imagine what would happen next, but I was also extremely curious. What on earth were these sea beasts? What was the meaning of their behavior? Was it possible for that human to survive

After watching the trailer, some guests in the lounge area stood up and ran away, while others felt weak in their legs and feet and did not have the strength to run.

Passersby on the street could not miss this extremely terrifying trailer. Some people took their children to the cinema to buy popcorn and hot dogs. As soon as they walked to the door, they saw the giant creature. The children were so scared that they burst into tears and even refused to eat.

Kuba took a long time to calm down, then came to his senses and glared at Ye Xiao, then walked to Lu Yao with a bitter face, "Shopkeeper, what kind of video is this? It's too scary."

Lu Yao did not miss the expressions of the guests who stayed.

The impact is indeed not small, but it is also very effective.

Facing countless painful but curious little eyes, the shop owner said calmly: "Why are you so panicked? Haven't you ever thought about exploring the diverse forms of life?"

Crying and shaking his head.

He could recognize the words the shopkeeper said separately, but he couldn't understand them when they were put together.

Explore the diverse forms of life

What does this mean

In the crowd, some people were still in deep fear, while others looked thoughtful.

Qin Sanwei sat in the corner against the wall, with very little sense of presence.

He originally came for "Meeting You Again in the Time of Falling Flowers" and wandered around the cinema for many days, unable to bear the thought of spending thirty-five cents just to watch a play, but he did not expect to encounter the release of a new film trailer.

He was still sitting on the chair. It was not that he didn't take it seriously, but his hands and feet were really weak and he couldn't get up at all. He couldn't help but wonder what the owner meant by that.

What to explore

He couldn't fully understand it, but he was sensitive enough to sense that the words carried some deep meaning.

It was hard for him not to care.

The trailer for "Hunting for the Deep" is short and thrilling, which is a new type compared to previous films.

Precisely because of this difference, it has once again aroused strong curiosity among some people, but at the same time many people are afraid to take a detour.

Fu Chi was already used to the shop owner's bold actions. He walked past the people with complicated expressions and approached Lu Yao: "When will this one be released?"

In three days, the new screening area will be open, and the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Dawu Dynasty is approaching.

Lu Yao has made careful arrangements: "Three days later."

Fu Chi nodded, "There was also an update on 'The Little Chef of Shengjing' that day."

Lu Yao: "After watching Deep Sea World, wouldn't it be nice to watch some lighthearted and happy love stories?"

Fu Chi: "... You have indeed arranged everything. Ji Zhixin said that there are several new films that are about to be released."

Lu Yao nodded: "Yes, there will be two more movies released during the Mid-Autumn Festival, a suspense movie and a fairy tale drama."

Fu Chi knew that Lu Yao had bought another low-budget fantasy drama, but he didn't know it was a suspense drama, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Suspense movie?"

Lu Yao's eyes were dark as he stared at Fu Chi quietly. After a few seconds, he spoke: "You haven't seen this movie either."

Fu Chi was stunned.

He hadn't seen the movie either, which was from another world, which made him look forward to it.

He did not have much say in the operation of the cinema, and gradually became like everyone else, waiting for the owner's arrangements.

Then he thought of what happened the day before, and Lu Yao seemed to have no reaction yet.

Fu Chi couldn't help but ask one more question: "What are you going to do about the ingredients?"

The smile on Lu Yao's face faded a little. "This matter is not a big deal, but this situation cannot be tolerated. In a few days, their probation period will end, and we will settle the accounts then."

Fu Chi nodded, and said angrily, "This is a problem that I caused."

Lu Yao didn't take it to heart: "If it wasn't them, there would be someone else. The desires of the living are always more complicated than those of the dead. These are all expected situations, you don't have to blame yourself."

Fu Chi's pupils shrank rapidly, and then he lowered his head.

The desires of the living and the desires of the dead. When a person dies, it is like a light going out. How can a dead person still have desires

The shop owner's wording was indeed a bit strange.

He couldn't help but think of Qi Chen again...

Lu Yao noticed the change in Fu Chi's expression, but didn't know what he was thinking, "How did you feel about the filming these two days?"

Speaking of this, Fu Chi suddenly forgot his previous doubts, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips, "Very interesting."

The streets of the Dawu Dynasty, the lives of the people, history, clothing, food, language, customs... the more I observe, the more interesting it becomes...

After listening to Fu Chi quietly, Lu Yao gave him some sincere encouragement and then talked about the new arrangements: "I heard that the Mid-Autumn Festival will be very lively. Our mooncake boxes are so beautiful. I wonder if there is a market for them here?"

Fu Chi remembered the mooncake gift box he had left in the fishing room of the Maorongrong Shop. There was nothing wrong with it except that he could not take it home directly.

Residents of the other world can buy gift boxes and take them back. If the price is right, they will definitely be in great demand.

Lu Yao also knew this, but the problem was that her mooncake gift boxes did not have room for cheap ones. “I’ll think about this again.”

For movie theaters, mooncake gift boxes are actually just the icing on the cake.

The owner still wanted to introduce it in a suitable form, so that the people of the Dawu Dynasty could taste the food that is different from their culture, and he also had some little thoughts in mind.

There may be many unrealistic fantasies and visions in this world, but there are also things that seem unreasonable and incomprehensible, but they really exist.
