Guide to Running a Shop in Another World

Chapter 226: The sixth store

Views:

Little A will not appear for no reason, each time he is more or less related to the task.

But his character this time doesn't seem to be able to reveal information casually, and the system is of no use.

Lu Yao pretended to reach into his bag and took out a few cutely packaged glutinous rice balls from his carry-on storage. He turned to look at Zheng Siyao in the back seat with a gentle and happy smile: "I didn't expect to see you again. Want some snacks?"

Zheng Siyao was also curious about Lu Yao. She indeed couldn't hear what this girl was thinking, and Professor An's heartbeat became a little disordered again.

"Thank you." Zheng Siyao took a glutinous rice cake from Lu Yao's hand and suddenly smiled when she saw the packaging: "Is this the good mood glutinous rice cake that is so popular online?"

Lu Yao nodded: "I will feel better after eating."

The bubble water and glutinous rice balls from the Childhood Tuition Center are very popular online. Zheng Siyao saw a lot of feedback while surfing, but she doesn’t think these products are really useful. She is afraid that they are just hype without any bottom line.

Zheng Siyao took it in her hand and recognized it from the packaging. It was Good Mood Glutinous Rice Cake. Under the other party's eager gaze, she couldn't help but eat it, so she slowly tore open the wrapping paper.

Lu Yao noticed that the passenger next to Zheng Siyao seemed to be paying attention to this side, and reached out his hand: "Do you want to eat?"

The young man in a white hoodie and black-framed glasses was holding a mobile phone stand in his hand. He was a little startled by the sudden conversation. He looked up at Lu Yao, then quickly looked away and shook his head, saying, "No, thank you."

The boy's voice was a little hoarse, and rows of messages were quickly scrolling across the screen of the phone in front of him.

[The good mood glutinous rice cakes from Childhood Tuition Center, I have tried them and my mood really improved!]

[How to be sure? When you go out, don’t just accept snacks and water from strangers. What if something goes wrong? ]

[Something happened? Hu Jiao is still afraid of something happening? Isn't he courting death in various ways every day? ]

Zheng Siyao bit into the glutinous rice cake and was a little surprised: "This glutinous rice cake... How could it be like this? Is this made with super powers? I have never seen this kind of ability before, is it a special type? It's amazing!"

As she chewed, images that brought her good mood floated before her eyes, and her mood unconsciously relaxed.

Sometimes you really have to pay attention to the information on the Internet. I almost missed such an excellent sample due to momentary prejudice.

The owner of the glutinous rice cake shop must be a very powerful person with super powers. She remembered that the shop was in Sanhua City. She would check the specific address when she returned. It was worth a visit.

Lu Yao gave Zheng Siyao two more glutinous rice balls.

The boy named "Pepper" tilted his head to look over. His half-long hair and glasses covered his face. His eyes behind the lenses were gloomy and his whites were bloodshot.

Lu Yao was very sensitive to other people's gazes. He looked up and saw the other person, like a frightened hamster, immediately lowering his head to avoid eye contact.

Lu Yao simply knelt on the cushion, approached Jiao, and stretched his head to see the stand for his mobile phone in his hand: "Are you live streaming?"

Pepper leaned back subconsciously, lowered the phone holder, and said in a hoarse voice: "I didn't take pictures of anyone. I was just watching them chatting."

It seemed that a live broadcast accident had occurred, and the messages scrolling on the mobile phone screen became denser.

[Pepper got nervous when the young lady started talking to her.]

[Don’t be afraid of pepper, go, go, go! ]

[From the sound of their voices, they are two girls? Hu Jiao, how about chatting with them? ]

[Chat, chat, I like watching!]

[The glutinous rice balls are really delicious. But the store is too far from the school, and I couldn't buy them several times. And the price is not very friendly for students. This lady is so generous. ]

Lu Yao stared at the boy for a while, frowned slightly, and then took out a business card from his bag. "If you need help, you can call the number above, or come directly to the store."

Huo Jiao thought this person was weird. She raised her eyebrows and glanced at him quickly, then lowered her head to look at the business card she handed over.

The camera of the mobile phone was also immediately projected onto the hand that stretched out from behind the chair. The audience in the live broadcast room all saw the same picture - a white and slender hand holding a business card with light blue and dark orange interweaving. The color contrast was strong and eye-catching. The cardboard was printed with the words "Lu Yao's Childhood Tuition Center". There were also two rows of small words below, clearly writing the store address and contact number.

"What is this?" Pepper asked puzzled.

Zheng Siyao also came over curiously and took the business card from Lu Yao: "This shop...Are you the boss?"

Lu Yao didn’t want to hide it, and nodded generously: “Yes, my shop usually sells small toys and snacks, but the main business is to tutor children for customers in need.”

The message boards in Hu Jiao's live broadcast room scrolled rapidly.

[Tutoring childhood? What does that mean?]

[I don’t understand, a new scam?]

[Psychological consultation?]

[It seems to be a way to help people with incomplete childhoods, as stated on the flyer in the store.]

[There are still flyers? That's too much! Hurry up, this woman is probably a scammer! ]

After reading the message, Hu Jiao said directly to Lu Yao: "Sorry, I don't have such a need."

Lu Yao nodded to show his understanding.

Zheng Siyao looked Lu Yao up and down with a surprised look on her face, as if to say, "I didn't expect it was you." She couldn't help but ask, "Can I ask what your ability is?"

Huo was worried that the owner would continue to pester her, so after refusing, she leaned against the windowsill and pretended to sleep, with her cell phone still held up, but the camera was indeed not pointed at anyone.

The person who was pretending to sleep was aroused by this question and moved slightly.

Lu Yao smiled and said, "It's a commercial secret."

After saying that, she turned sideways and stretched out her hand in front of An Yan, "Glutinous rice cake, do you want to eat it?"

Zheng Siyao became more and more curious about the store owner and wanted to take the opportunity to have a good chat with her. Seeing her sudden action, she hurriedly prepared to stop her.

An Yan has no sense of teamwork and never cares about other people's face.

But he has an extraordinary understanding of superpowers, and his concept of using superpowers is more advanced than that of the old professors and experts in the institute.

Zheng Siyao had the honor of seeing An Yan testing the experimental subjects' abilities.

Without using his super powers, he can easily defeat powerful natural-type superpower users.

In this era, many humans have become vassals of super powers.

But for An Yan, superpowers are like a small cufflink on the cuff of his suit, just an unnecessary embellishment.

Many researchers in the Super Energy Research Institute tried to have in-depth talks with him, both men and women, but unfortunately Professor An never took anyone seriously.

Zheng Siyao could already imagine the embarrassing scene that would follow if a passerby he met by chance during his journey rashly fed him food.

She also wanted to get to know the store owner better and didn't want the relationship to become too strained.

But before she could say anything, An Yan reached out and took a glutinous rice cake from Lu Yao's hand.

Zheng Siyao blinked.

Can't understand.

Lu Yao watched him tear open the wrapping paper slowly and put the food into his mouth with such graceful movements. He inexplicably felt that he must like this a little, so he took out another handful from his bag.

"More?" she asked.

An Yan stretched out his hand with his palm facing upwards.

Lu Yao held the back of his hand and stuffed a handful of glutinous rice cakes into his hand, "All for you."

An Yan's lips curved up slightly, "Thank you."

Professor An's heartbeat quickened again, and he was as lively as a wild fawn just born.

Zheng Siyao frowned: "..."

Could it be that An Yan likes...

But this was only the second time they met.

Zheng Siyao couldn't figure it out, but she wanted to get to know the owner better, so she took the initiative to propose exchanging social media accounts.

Lu Yao thought it was perfect and readily added Zheng Siyao as a friend.

The business card that Huo Jiao didn't want was also put into Zheng Siyao's pocket.

The tram started off. Lu Yao turned around and sat down. He pulled An Yan again and asked him if he wanted to exchange contact information.

An Yan silently took out his cell phone and scanned Lu Yao's communication code.

The owner's chat avatar is a fat seal with its belly turned up, a pure white teardrop seal with thick and fluffy fur and round and moist eyes. It looks soft and innocent.

An Yan’s profile picture has a pure black background with a big round sun in the middle.

Lu Yao looked carefully for a while and confirmed that it was the sun, not the moon or other celestial body.

The light, shadow and composition of this picture are very special. The sun is big and round, with a light golden edge on the outer edge, and it is located in the middle of the black curtain like the absolute center.

The whole composition was weird and eye-catching. Lu Yao stared at it for a while and felt a strange feeling in his heart.

At this time, Zheng Siyao sent a message, and Lu Yao put his thoughts aside and concentrated on chatting with her.

The two hours passed quickly. The owner was very talkative and when getting off the car, Zheng Siyao felt that she had not yet had enough.

The four people in the front and back seats got off the bus at Sanhua City and left in different directions.

Lu Yao returned to the cram school.

Ji Feiming greeted him at the door and breathed a sigh of relief, "You're finally back."

"Did something happen?" Lu Yao squatted at the door and stroked Erxin's big furry head and asked casually.

Ji Feiming's face was heavy, and he nodded vigorously: "I wanted to contact you later, but I didn't expect you to come back early."

Lu Yao took out the cat snacks he bought in Tortoise Market from his bag, tore them open and handed them to Er Xin, "What's wrong?"

Ji Feiming looked outside the door and raised his head slightly. "I came here to open the store this morning and saw a crowd of people gathered at the door. It turned out that there were three adults floating in the air for unknown reasons. Later we figured out that they all fell from the top of the overpass and were blocked by an unknown energy layer when they were close to the ground."

Ji Feiming had no idea that the location of this store was so ominous before. In the morning, he heard from a passerby that this intersection was originally a holy place of death, and he was stunned for a long time.

But he couldn't walk out of the store and could only watch the three people being taken away by the security team and the hospital.

The three were very emotional when they were rescued. One of them struggled to break away from the crowd and ran to the pedestrian bridge, but was restrained and dragged away halfway.

After a long while, Ji Feiming gradually came to his senses.

The unknown energy layer definitely did not appear out of thin air. The owner must have known about it a long time ago and took precautions in advance.

Lu Yao looked gloomy. He took out a special bubble gun from behind the shelf and reinforced the protective net. "It will be fine for now. You go back first. I'll be in the store."

It was almost midnight, and Ji Feiming couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to rest?"

Lu Yao shook his head: "I have guests coming to tutor me tomorrow, so I have to prepare for the class in advance."

This time, a lot of useful information was obtained in Cat Meat Pad Town No. 4, which was different from the world seen by young Xu Xiaoxiao.

Lu Yao added the relevant data to Xu Xiaoxiao's Soul Key to complete the relevant background for the next tutoring session.

The next day, Xu Xiaoxiao arrived at the cram school on time.

As soon as she saw Lu Yao, she couldn't wait to say, "We've been looking forward to it these past few days. Let's get started quickly."

After not seeing each other for a few days, Xu Xiaoxiao seemed like a different person.

She used to be a lively and outgoing person, but now she has a faint sense of decadence and self-abandonment, like a tenacious and upward sunflower.

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't know that the owner had gone to the town where she lived as a child. When she got the key, she said, "I have thought about it carefully. I must solve the problem perfectly this time."

Xu Xiaoxiao's situation is different from Xiao Ze's. An incident in the fourth grade of elementary school directly changed the direction of her life.

The main goal of her tutoring is to overcome this difficulty.

So during the second tutoring session, Xu Xiaoxiao and Alfred went back to the day when the incident happened.

Alfred accompanied Xu Xiaoxiao back to school to get her pencil case. They heard crying at the corner of the stairs. Xu Xiaoxiao once again chose the same action as in her childhood, chasing away the bad guys and sending the girl from Class 3 home.

During this period, Alfred was put in Xu Xiaoxiao's schoolbag.

The girl from Class 3 rescued by Xu Xiaoxiao was named Zhen Xinxin.

She is in very bad condition.

Xu Xiaoxiao sent her back and tried to communicate.

But Zhen Xinxin seemed to be frightened. She opened her mouth but could not make any sound. She looked dazed and stupid.

Xu Xiaoxiao's memory has been blocked again, but the deep consciousness of her adulthood is guiding her young self.

Zhen Xinxin's mother was a little surprised when she opened the door after hearing the doorbell. After understanding the situation, she first let the frightened Zhen Xinxin in, and then enthusiastically invited Xu Xiaoxiao to eat.

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't want to stay any longer and said she wanted to go home.

But Zhen Xinxin's mother was very strong. She pulled her in, poured her juice and brought her snacks.

Half an hour had passed since Xu Xiaoxiao came out of Zhen Xinxin's house. She was walking on the road, holding the straps of her schoolbag tightly with both hands, in silence.
