Guide to Running a Shop in Another World

Chapter 217: The sixth store

Views:

Xiao Ze took Xu Xiaoxiao to the First Hospital for a full-body examination. The results showed that everything was normal and no drug components were detected in the body.

Xiao Ze was staring at the report card in a daze.

Xu Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "Xiao Ze, what's wrong?"

Xiao Ze took a step back and shook his head: "It's okay, let's go."

Xu Xiaoxiao felt that something was wrong with Xiao Ze, "What happened? Tell me quickly."

Xiao Ze didn't intend to talk about Lu Yao.

Meeting her was an accident in the first place, and talking about it would involve his plan to go to the overpass last night, which he didn't want to mention.

Xiao Ze separated from Xu Xiaoxiao at the hospital gate and planned to walk to the nearest subway station and take the subway back to the company.

But before going to the company, he wanted to see Lu Yao again.

He used the bubble water last night and slept very well. He woke up feeling relaxed and there was nothing unusual in his body.

This is scary.

-

No. 66 Sanhua Road, Childhood Tutorial Center.

Lu Yao did not go out to distribute flyers in the morning.

After talking with Xiao Ze last night, she felt that distributing flyers was too passive and could not attract nearby customers, so she had to find another way.

The owner planned to start a small business by categorizing the bubble water and reorganizing the shelves.

Two four-layer shelves are placed next to each other on the left side facing the store door. From top to bottom, the top layer of the shelf on the left side is filled with bubble water that has the effect of soothing the mood, helping sleep and creating dreams.

This set of bubble water is all in the shape of mini dragons. The images of the little dragons are taken from various dragons in the continent of Alexandria. The only difference is the color and fragrance.

This was also the bubble water that Lu Yao gave to Xiao Ze last night.

The third shelf is filled with bubble water that can relieve tension and anxiety.

This set is full of soft and cute little monster shapes, including slimes of various colors, Q-version bats, small skeletons, and some sub-human small beast forms.

The second shelf is filled with ordinary bubble water that has no effect. The lid of the bubble bottle is in the shape of a cute little animal, and the inside is hollow and filled with some candy.

Lu Yao plans to use Dreamweaver Bubble Water and Emotion Bubble Water as the main products of the cram school for the time being.

When the store opened for business, Lu Yao had already placed a vertical sign at the door introducing the effects of bubble water.

Many passers-by who passed by the Childhood Tutorial Center inadvertently glanced at the vertical sign at the door. Tension, anxiety, insomnia, each word accurately hits the needs of some people.

However, the name, decoration taste and location of this store are very subtle in this commercial district. In addition, it is the morning rush hour and everyone is rushing to work, so no customers have taken the initiative to step into the cram school.

The owner was not in a hurry. After she sorted out the bubble water shelves, Erxin gathered around her legs and howled, asking for food.

Lu Yao took out the cat's food bowl and water bowl and placed them in front of the shelf.

The two-hearted pig came running over, put his head against the glass, and slurped his food.

The chubby and furry creature naturally brings a sense of healing. The greedy fat cat, combined with the old-fashioned decoration style of the cram school, actually has the atmosphere of a canteen in front of a school.

The only thing wrong is that this childhood memory shop is located in a commercial district with no students, and even in the center of the Holy Land of Death.

Lu Yao washed his hands and came out to continue arranging the shelves on the right.

This shelf is for snacks. In addition to the various candies that appeared on the nine-square snack plate last night, there are now also instant noodles, spicy strips, dried meat, and seaweed rolls.

On the right side of the store door is a new freezer filled with a variety of ice creams and popsicles. Next to it is a water cabinet with happy water, sparkling water, soda water, and fruit milk tea.

In order to save money, the goods in the cram school are basically from other worlds. Some of them are finished products purchased directly from other worlds, and some are raw materials purchased by the store owner in various worlds and then sent to various stores for processing.

By the time Lu Yao had finished tidying up the shelves, there were not many people in front of the door.

Once the morning rush hour was over, everything was deserted.

Lu Yao asked Erxin to look after the store and call her when there were customers. Then he turned and walked into the secret space of the tutorial center that had not yet been opened to the public.

After Erxin finished his snacks, he jumped onto the chair that Lu Yao had specially placed on the side of the shelf, and lazily lay on the cushion, licking his fur.

Occasionally, people passing by would take a second look, and some could not help but take photos and post them on social media platforms.

[I accidentally saw a pig washing its face on the roadside. It seemed so leisurely.]

This was originally a post that was posted by a passerby accidentally, but unexpectedly, it received a lot of comments soon.

[Wow, this cat is so plump!]

[I know, I know. Is it at the intersection of No. 66 Sanhua Road? When I passed by this morning, it was eating.]

[No. 66 Sanhua Road? You must be joking. Who dares to open a store there? ]

[It is the intersection of No. 66 Sanhua Road. I saw it this morning. The store does not look like a regular store. The sign at the door actually says that it sells bubble water that can soothe emotions and help you sleep.]

[How can bubble water help soothe your mood? That’s ridiculous.]

[That's No. 66 Sanhua Road! I think the person who opened a shop there is either mentally ill or a stupid, vicious and wicked person.]

[Is there really bubble water that can soothe your mood? I'm a little tempted. I'm so anxious at work every day and can't sleep at night. ]

[Jimei, wake up! If you can't sleep, go to the doctor for medicine. Don't believe in such unreliable things. ]

Xiao Ze was taking the subway and accidentally saw this message while browsing his phone. After reading various replies, he felt even more complicated.

If he hadn't tried it, he would definitely have the same reaction.

The full body examination and waiting for the report took a lot of time. It was already noon when Xiao Ze stood in front of the Childhood Tutorial Center again.

This time is the lunch rush hour.

The entrance of the cram school was still deserted, and the sign on the side looked even more suspicious.

Xiao Ze didn't see Lu Yao, and stood at the door hesitating, his eyes fell on the shelves, it seemed that a lot of new goods had been added.

Erxin jumped down from the chair, scratched the glass and meowed at him.

Xiao Ze was a little surprised. He saw that the fat cat had become even fatter during the day. No wonder those people on the Internet called it "Pig". And it seemed like it knew him.

It only saw it once last night, and it remembered it

Erxin saw that the man didn't come in, so he turned around and ran behind the shelf.

After a while, the shop owner wearing a strange apron came out and saw Xiao Ze, and smiled slightly: "Mr. Xiao, have you had lunch?"

Xiao Ze shook his head subconsciously, then remembered the original purpose of coming here, and tried to put on a straight face, "I used that bubble water last night."

Lu Yao nodded: "Is the effect good?"

Xiao Ze frowned, realizing that the shop owner did know the effect of the bubble water, and said in a calm voice: "I only blew it once, and I felt very sleepy. I was with a friend at the time, and we both fell asleep quickly."

Lu Yao: "How do you feel when you wake up in the morning?"

Xiao Ze didn't want to admit it, so he paused before saying, "I seemed to have had a dream about my childhood, and I felt very relaxed after waking up."

Lu Yao nodded repeatedly: "It seems to be okay."

Noticing that Xiao Ze looked unhappy, Lu Yao could guess his concerns and explained, "Mr. Xiao, Dreamweaver Bubble Water is a derivative product of my ability. It is harmless to the human body. Its main function is to help people who have trouble falling asleep to have a good sleep."

Xiao Ze's expression changed: "You mean it has something to do with your ability?"

If it's a superpower, it does seem to make sense.

Powerful abilities that can even shatter meteorites, cause geological changes, and control tides. There are also rumors that special abilities that can bring the dead back to life have appeared.

If the creation of bubble water is really related to superpowers, the owner probably also has a rare trait.

Lu Yao nodded and continued, "A new product, Emotional Bubble Water, has been launched today. It can relieve tension and anxiety after use. You can take a look."

System: [When did you awaken your superpowers? I don’t even know.]

Lu Yao: "My superpower is flexibility. It has been awakened for half a year. If you don't know, it means you don't care about me enough."

system:[…]

Xiao Ze turned around to look.

At this time, a voice interrupted from the side: "Can it really relieve the mood? That bubble water."

Lu Yao tilted his head. The girl who was talking was very young. She was wearing a black suit and looked like a new office worker who had just entered the society.

Li Xiaoguo was stared at by two people and a cat, and waved his hands awkwardly, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I saw the product on the sign when I passed by this morning, and I've been paying attention to it. I was going to come over to learn more about it during lunch break, and I accidentally overheard you talking."

Just as Lu Yao guessed, Li Xiaoguo had just graduated in the first half of the year and was now working in customer service at a telecommunications company.

She is an introvert and not good at interacting with people. She has received complaints almost every day since she started working for three months.

My salary was deducted to the point where there was little left. Going to work every day was like going to a grave, but I didn’t dare to resign.

She was almost dying of anxiety. She hadn't been able to eat for a long time and always had nightmares when she slept.

When I passed by in the morning, I glanced at the sign of the Childhood Tuition Center. I felt that it was unreliable, but I couldn’t help but pay attention to it and wanted to give it a try.

Li Xiaoguo looked at Xiao Ze expectantly: "You used that bubble water, and the effect was really good?"

Under the gaze of the shop owner and Erxin, Xiao Ze nodded with difficulty: "I use the Dreamweaver bubble water, and I have never used the new one."

Li Xiaoguo turned to look at Lu Yao and said, "Shopkeeper, I want to buy a bottle of that emotion bubble water."

Lu Yao led the customer to the shelf with a smile, "Ninety-nine cute coins, you can choose any style you want."

The currency of this world is called Moe Coin. Both banknotes and coins have cute animal pads printed on them. The smallest denomination is one Moe Coin, followed by five, ten, fifty, one hundred, and one thousand denominations, with one thousand being the largest.

After a systematic investigation, the purchasing power of one Meng Coin is about the same as that of one RMB.

Ninety-nine cute coins for a bottle of bubble water can be said to be a sky-high price.

But Li Xiaoguo paid the money without hesitation. She felt it was worth it as long as it could relieve her tension and anxiety.

As the first customer to purchase products at the cram school, Lu Yao gave her a bottle of ordinary bubble water and a box of candy.

Li Xiaoguo thanked him happily and left with his things.

Xiao Ze wanted to confirm Lu Yao's statement, so he also bought a bottle of emotion bubble water.

He planned to try it once first, and then send it to the relevant agency to check the ingredients after get off work.

Lu Yao didn't know what Xiao Ze was thinking. He watched him leave, turned around and told Erxin to continue watching the store, then turned around and went to the back to work.

Li Xiaoguo returned to the company with some bubble water. Before the lunch break, he secretly ran to the bathroom to blow a few bubbles.

Coming out of the bathroom, she didn't feel any different from usual and felt slightly disappointed.

She tried hard to recall the scene at noon and suspected that Xiao Ze might be a hired help by the store owner. After all, apart from him and her anxious heart, no one else took the initiative to walk into the store.

At this time, the phone in front of the workstation rang, and Li Xiaoguo picked it up immediately, "Hello, hello. This is..."

When it was time to get off work, Li Xiaoguo got up and packed his things.

The colleague next to her turned to look at her and said with a smile: "Xiaoguo, you look good today. It seems you are slowly getting used to it."

Li Xiaoguo was stunned. "Why do you say that?"

Colleague: "You didn't cry today. I'm still a little uncomfortable with that."

Li Xiaoguo recalled that the work in the afternoon went very smoothly and he was not scolded by the customers.

She lowered her head and took out the emotion bubble water from her bag. Could this thing really be useful

-

Xiao Ze also used the emotion bubble water. Miraculously, after he accompanied the customer with whom he had not reached an agreement to go house viewing again, he actually got the contract.

When he got off work, Xiao Ze still felt it was unreal.

At the same time, First Hospital.

Du Haoling looked at the two medical examination reports on the table and frowned slightly.

-

Childhood Tuition Center.

Lu Yao worked in the secret room for the whole day and only made a prototype.

The system was a little surprised when it saw the twisted, key-like object in Lu Yao's hand: "This thing looks familiar."

Lu Yao ignored it and continued to be busy.

The system suddenly responded with an inspiration: "Key of Space and Time! Are you copying an item?"

Lu Yao paused, "The inspiration does come from the Key of Time and Space, but this is not a copy."

The system's heart was alarmed: "It is the key to time and space. Why did you make this thing?"
