Guide to Running a Shop in Another World

Chapter 219: The sixth store

Views:

Lu Yao was slightly stunned, and quickly stepped back, "Mr. Xiao, why don't you come in and sit for a while?"

The system couldn't help but say: [You've failed. You haven't even awakened your abilities yet, what can you show them to others? ]

Lu Yao: “This is not a rollover.”

system:[?]

Lu Yao: "This is a guest who came to ask for help."

The system doesn’t understand.

Lu Yao invited Xiao Ze to sit down in the glass tea room, made another pot of tea, and added new snacks to the snack box.

Erxin kept circling around Lu Yao, crying and begging for food.

This fat cat was very shrewd. Seeing that the owner was entertaining customers and had no intention of looking after it, it took advantage of the situation and robbed it.

Lu Yao took some dried fish and fed it to Er Xin, then looked at Xiao Ze: "You are very uneasy."

Since entering the store, Xiao Ze has been observing the owner.

She was calm and didn't seem offended by his request at all, but she didn't respond to his request immediately either.

This ease puzzled Xiao Ze and increased his suspicion.

Xiao Ze lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on the teacup in front of him. The warm aroma of tea slightly soothed his impatience. "Your ability is very strange, it should be different from that of a loser like me who can only make his fingers glow. I'm just a little curious."

Lu Yao shook his head: "Your eyes gave me a feeling of uneasiness. After you used the bubble water, you felt that it was effective. But you doubted whether there was really such a convenient ability? Then you began to guess that I called you that night, maybe for some other purpose."

Xiao Ze clenched his hands under the table, frowned, and was very surprised.

Lu Yao continued: "Don't be so surprised, this is not a superpower. It's just some facts I observed from you."

A person who has ever wanted to commit suicide, even if he looks normal on the surface, must have something abnormal in his inner state.

The state of the spiritual world is not impossible to observe. It often has external manifestations, but the difference is that it can be obvious or not.

In other words, it also depends on whether or not others notice it.

The external manifestation of Xiao Ze's inner state is suspicion and excessive caution.

Lu Yao pointed to the cakes in the middle of the snack box and said, "I just made this today. Try it and see if it's different."

Lu Yao has only recently mastered high-level illusion techniques. In order to consolidate this ability, he would occasionally go to the snack bar and make cakes with obsessions with the shop assistants.

She made a lot today, so she asked Xiaoji to deliver some to the furry shop and the cinema, and also brought some to the cram school.

Xiao Ze picked up the cake. It was white and soft, and the surface seemed to be covered with a layer of coconut flakes. It also smelled faintly of coconut milk. After biting it open, it was a delicious dessert.

After a while, Xiao Ze seemed shocked and looked up at the owner.

Lu Yao asked: "What did you see?"

Xiao Ze: "Sun, beach, swimming ring, ice watermelon juice, and being with friends, it's very happy."

Lu Yao nodded with satisfaction: "This is also a derivative of my ability."

Xiao Ze lowered his head: "Sorry."

So that's how it is, she is indeed a special type.

Lu Yao smiled and shook his head, then asked, "Mr. Xiao, after you went back that day, did you see a doctor?"

It took Xiao Ze a moment to understand what she meant and he shook his head, "It's not a disease."

Lu Yao pondered for a moment, "I'm afraid you will laugh at me, but the original intention of opening this store was not to sell bubble water and candy. The Childhood Tutorial Center aims to solve the troubles of those customers who cannot be happy due to childhood deficiencies. Do you want to try a simple childhood test?"

Xiao Ze refused in his heart, but it was also a fact that he had offended the owner just now, so he nodded with a sense of compensation.

Lu Yao took out the notebook and pen that he had prepared in advance from under the table and pushed them in front of Xiao Ze: "Just fill out this form."

The test form is very simple. All you have to do is fill in your name and contact information, and then write down your earliest childhood memory.

Xiao Ze secretly thought it was too troublesome at first, but he was speechless after seeing the form.

It took Xiao Ze about twenty minutes to finish the childhood test. After handing it to Lu Yao, he immediately stood up and walked quickly out the door. "It's getting late. I should go back."

He wasn't curious about the test results.

Childhood was too far away for him.

Some shortcomings cannot be made up for after the deadline.

Or rather, all the shortcomings are like this.

He didn't know the true meaning of "Childhood Tutorial Center" before.

In a way, the childhood tutoring center opened in the Holy Land of Death is a hellish joke.

What the owner calls childhood tutoring is probably psychotherapy.

The general process is to listen and then persuade the person to let go of his obsession.

He had heard too many lies.

All the shop owner wanted to do was to deceive their hearts with words.

Lu Yao waved to Xiao Ze as he walked out of the store, then looked down at the test form.

He filled out the forms carefully as required, even though he was reluctant to agree to them.

The description of his first childhood memories is clear and detailed, which shows that he remembers them clearly.

It can also be seen from the words and content that Xiao Ze is essentially a very serious person.

After reading it, Lu Yao put the form away, hung a sign saying "Closed" on the door, returned to the shopping street, and walked towards the snack bar.

The system was puzzled: "Why did you close the store?"

Lu Yao: "I have something urgent to ask the Demon Lord."

Lu Yao put on the magic ring and entered paradise.

She came out two hours later and went back to the furry shop, asking Lei Lei to take her to the temple where the goddess of the deep sea was sleeping.

In the evening, Lu Yao returned to the nail salon and found Harold: "Little Black Dragon, come here."

Harold was looking at the newly arrived comics with Si Jin. He stood up reluctantly and walked over to the comics, his eyes and mind still on them. "What's the matter?"

Lu Yao took out a handful of small black dragon scales from his pocket, "I want to use your scales to make some props, is that okay?"

Harold then turned his head and widened his eyes. "If you need it, just do it. It's all given to you anyway."

Every once in a while a dragon will shed its old scales and grow new, harder scales.

The hardest dragon scale on Harold's body has been made into a hairpin and given to Lu Yao. The other ordinary scales shed last year were used as materials, which he didn't care much about.

Lu Yao blinked and said nothing.

Harold's face turned ugly: "You want to use my dragon scales as props for others?"

As he spoke, his tone began to rise.

I was very angry and felt particularly aggrieved.

This attracted the attention of the other shop assistants who were taking a break. When the twin fairies heard the aggrieved tone of the "bully" little black dragon, they immediately flew to Si Jin's head to watch the fun.

Lu Yao glanced around the store, pulled Little Black Dragon aside, and whispered, "I want to do..."

Harold was stunned. "Can it really be done?"

Lu Yao nodded: "I have investigated it, and it is theoretically feasible. But the materials are too rare to make that kind of prop. Among all the people and aliens I know, I am afraid that only your scales can be used."

Harold straightened his shoulders silently, trying to wag his tail, but then he noticed the gazes around him and let out a melancholy sigh, "Then use it."

Lu Yao took out a handful of candy from his purse, stuffed it into Harold's hand, and turned back to the laboratory to get down to business.

Si Jin asked, "What is she going to do with your scales?"

The twin goblins flew to Harold, coveting his candy.

Harold turned sideways and stuffed the candy into his chest to hide it, and said proudly, "Lu Yao said he wanted to make a time machine. It's the kind of machine that appeared in the blue fat man's cartoon."

The staff at the nail salon are all comic fans, so they know what the machine is without any detailed explanation.

Seeing Harold showing off, Si Jin couldn't help but ask, "If the store owner had a time machine, he wouldn't need you to travel through time and space to protect him, right?"

Harold: “!!!”

Meruru added: "Once the shopkeeper is done, Pushu and I will take that machine to find her. We can also protect her."

Harold: “…”

-

Lu Yao got some useful hints from the Demon God and the Goddess of the Deep Sea. He also paid special attention to it when he used the Key of Time and Space last time and was deeply impressed.

At that time, I didn’t think about making a time machine, but I thought the structure of the Key of Time and Space was particularly interesting.

The owner spent a week and conducted countless experiments before finally making a prototype of a time machine.

Then another week was spent on testing, debugging, and improving it to make sure it was ready for use.

During the experiment, Lu Yao tried to go back to the past.

I don’t know if it’s because of the limitations of the star gate that she can’t use the time machine to go back to her past.

The shop assistants and animals in the shopping district cannot use the time machine either.

Lu Yao placed the time machine in his childhood cram school center and caught a few stray cats nearby for testing. He made sure that the time machine could operate normally in Sanhua City, and then contacted Xiao Ze.
