After watching the advertising sample sent to him in advance, Lu Yao had only one thought: there is no technique, only emotion.
This advertisement took only one week from conception to shooting to online release, including three days for editing and three days for deployment. The total shooting of all content took less than half a day.
In her world, this is totally impossible.
The content is very long, and the editor only cut out the overly lengthy and boring parts, retaining the highlight moments of everyone eating in various ways.
Strictly speaking, it doesn't look like an advertisement, but more like a life vlog shared by netizens, eating, drinking, playing and having fun with friends, feeling relaxed and comfortable.
However, Xingzi, Xiaoqie and Quan Shengju liked it very much. During their breaks, the three of them stayed in the kitchen and watched it over and over again.
The next day, Li Shasha and Chen Meiyue came to the store to eat. Lu Yao showed them the sample film. They were very surprised. They ordered coffee and watched the film together for the whole afternoon. When they left, they wanted another sample film.
Lu Yao was a little nervous at first, but when he saw that they really liked it, he felt relieved.
On the day when the advertisement was fully launched, three times the usual amount of ingredients were prepared, and the store staff also came to the store in advance to prepare.
Lu Yao knew that the number of customers would increase, but when he opened the door and saw the huge crowds of people filling the square, he was still shocked and took a step back.
The people squatting outside the door saw the door open, and they all turned their heads to look over. Someone immediately shouted, "Open the door! Owner, I want to order!"
Lu Yao skillfully took out a huge sign made of illusion from the door and hung it at the door, with the rules for queuing and ordering written on it.
You cannot cut in line, and each person is limited to ordering three portions of food. You can dine in or take out.
There were a lot of people at the door, making a lot of noise.
Bai Ming came out and asked Lu Yao to go to the kitchen while he greeted the customers. The excited and restless people immediately calmed down and lined up obediently to enter the store.
After the customer who came in from the front row placed his order, he immediately sat down by the window and leaned over it, staring out the window in fascination.
After a week, the flowers on the trees were in full bloom, clustered together, and the flowers spread for ten miles, like a pink galaxy lying on the green river bank.
Xiaoqie was serving food to the guests. Someone pointed at a small succulent plant on the windowsill and asked eagerly, "Can you sell me a pot of this? It's so cute and round."
Xiao Qie: "This is a small potted plant made by the owner using magic. It is not for sale."
The customer's eyes widened, with an expression of "are you kidding me?" "How can this be pinched?"
Xiaoqie put down the plate, revealing a mouthful of fine fangs, "It is indeed made by our owner. Please enjoy your order."
The guest couldn't help but shudder, not daring to ask any more questions, but he felt angry in his heart.
As soon as I ate the sizzling spicy grilled wings, the thin-skinned and big-filled wontons, and the sweet, sticky and hot glutinous rice wine meatballs, the anger in my heart dissipated unconsciously.
This shop is awesome, the food is so delicious!
The effect of the train advertisement was explosive. Fortunately, the snack bar was well prepared and the staff were all capable. By the time it was almost noon, all the ingredients prepared on the first floor were sold out without any mistakes.
Meng Qin held Ning Yun's hand and anxiously counted how many more people would have to reach them.
A sign had been put up on the first floor saying the store was closed for the day. There were several shop assistants in the store whose soul powers were as strong as those of the guards, so no one dared to cause trouble.
Only the coffee shop on the second floor was still open, and Meng Qin was worried that they would not be able to get a seat.
One, two, three, three more to go.
Finally, the person in front of them entered the store, and Meng Qin felt relieved, knowing that it would be his first line soon.
Ning Yun’s illness will be cured as long as he eats the food from this restaurant.
Xiaoqie suddenly leaned half of her body out of the stairwell and said, "Sister Xingzi, the snacks are almost gone, and we need to rest on the second floor as well."
Meng Qin's face changed and he took a step forward. "Can we still go in? My girlfriend is suffering from amnesia and wants to eat something. Anything is fine."
Xingzi turned her head to look at Xiaoqie, who was a little confused.
The prepared dim sum had been sold out, and only a few new items were left in the kitchen for the store staff.
Qi Chen just worked out the best combination of new dim sum last night. Only Lu Yao has tasted it, and none of them have had it yet.
Lu Yao was in the kitchen on the first floor drafting a list of goods. He poked his head out when he heard the voice and said loudly, "Let them go up. We'll take a break later."
Meng Qin looked at Lu Yao gratefully and pulled Ning Yun upstairs.
Lu Yao called to order the goods and came out of the kitchen. "Couple, this is the first time I see you."
Kyoko nodded and said, "It's rare indeed. Most people here are emotionally indifferent and few people fall in love with anyone. But... I like the owner very much."
Seeing that there were more guests coming up, Qi Chen frowned and looked at Xiao Qie: "What's going on?"
Xiao Qie said innocently: "The owner asked them to come up."
Qi Chen: "Give them your snacks."
Xiao Qie was struck by lightning: "… Why is that? Can't you make another one?"
Qi Chen: "There is no more material."
Lu Yao chatted with Xingzi for a few words and came upstairs just in time to see Qi Chen bullying Xiaoqie, which was a bit strange.
Qi Chen is actually not afraid of Xiao Qie anymore.
She patted Xiao Qie, who was holding her head in despair, and said to Qi Chen, "Use my portion. I ate it last night and it was delicious."
"I like the owner the most." Xiaoqie hugged Lu Yao.
Qi Chen shook his head and turned to greet the guests.
There were a few tables of guests on the second floor, and Meng Qin and Ning Yun waited until they got a table by the window.
Knowing that the store was about to close, they had no choice but to wait for the waiter to serve the food and eat whatever was available.
Wait for a cream puff, a cream coffee pudding, and two whipped coconut lattes.
Ning Yun's face was full of surprise. He stretched out a finger and touched the outer wall of the glass. His fingertips were cold. "Wow, it's so cold. This is great!"
She thought the waiter would bring out some leftovers, two plump puffs, a coffee pudding that shook when the spoon touched it, and a circle of cream squeezed on the edge. It was much better than she had imagined.
Meng Qin felt uneasy. The dessert looked good, but it was different from what the amnesiac patient ate in the advertisement.
He wanted Ning Yun to eat hot food as well, which might have a better effect. It was just their fault that they came late.
Ning Yun picked up a puff. The light brown skin was soft. With a little force, she tore a small hole, and the light and smooth cream overflowed. She lowered her head and took a bite, then looked at Meng Qin with curved eyes, "So sweet!"
The outer skin of the puff is soft and slightly tough, and the inner filling is fluffy cream, which is not too sweet. There is even a large fruit in the middle, which is pineapple, which seems to have been soaked in sugar water, with thick flesh and sweet juice. From the bland puff skin to the slightly sweet cream and then to the sweet and juicy pineapple fruit, the taste and flavor are progressive.
Ning Yun ate half of it, and when she saw Meng Qin didn't move, she pushed the remaining puff on the plate over to him and urged him, "Try it quickly, it's delicious!"
Meng Qin pushed the plate back and said, "Since it's delicious, it's all yours."
Ning Yun finished the puff in two or three bites, and even licked the cream on his fingertips twice. He ignored the plate pushed by Meng Qin, picked up the small silver spoon, scooped a spoonful of coffee pudding, the dark brown and slightly transparent jelly was wrapped with cloud-like cream, and handed it to Meng Qin, "Ah-"
Meng Qin: “…”
After a long silence, he finally couldn't resist her stubbornness and slowly opened his mouth.
The cream melts in the mouth first, followed by the mellow bitter aroma of coffee. The light cream and the chewy texture of the coffee jelly are surprisingly suitable, blending sweet and bitter to achieve an indescribable balance. Meng Qin raised his eyebrows, it was really delicious.
Ning Yun took back the spoon and immediately took a bite. He held his face with one hand, squinted his eyes and tapped the ground with his toes, "This is delicious too!"
Meng Qin's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed. It really worked. The depression in Ning Yun disappeared.
After finishing the coffee pudding, Meng Qin picked up the remaining cream puffs on the plate, broke them in half, and handed one half to Ning Yun, with a faint light in his eyes: "Half each."
Ning Yun took it and found that the puff was filled with strawberry pulp, which doubled her happiness.
They were the last table of customers in the store. After eating their snacks, they sat for a long time with a cup of raw coconut latte.
When leaving, Meng Qin paid the bill. Ning Yun saw Lu Yao sitting behind the bar, "Are you the owner?"
Lu Yao stood up: "Well, hello. My name is Lu Yao."
Ning Yun pointed out the window and asked, "If I want some flowers like those outside, can you help me?"
Lu Yao: "... Sorry, those flowers are illusions created by magic."
Ning Yun smiled: "So that's how it is. The dim sum is delicious and the scenery is beautiful. We will come again."
Lu Yao sighed quietly. Recently, more and more people were asking about the flowers and trees outside the window. It seemed that the excuse of "master of illusion" was no longer sustainable.
She always felt that the people here seemed to know something.
[The name of Luyao Snack Shop has spread throughout the 13 districts of Dreamland. Congratulations to the owner for achieving the "Famous" achievement! ]
[The ultimate mission has been opened, and the invitation to the Demon God has been sent to the prop box. Please complete the mission within seven days! ]
!!!
Got the ultimate mission.
However, what is the “Devil’s Invitation”
Lu Yao immediately checked the warehouse and found an extra item in the grid, lying quietly behind the "flying live broadcast device": an invitation card with black background and gold letters.
She took it out and saw "Dear Lord Demon" written on the top. It couldn't be opened and the contents inside could not be seen.
So the first step of this mission is to hand over the invitation to the demon
Lu Yao typed into the system: "What will happen if the task is not completed within seven days?"
System: [The store owner will face the end of his life. ]
Lu Yao: “…”
It's the same thing again. The system used this trick to force her to open a store.
Every day is a death warning, no kidding.
Lu Yao: "I see. Do you have any hints about the demon?"
System: [The Devil is the origin of this world. The shop owner needs to find Him, complete the task, and get His recognition before he can get the clue to the next world.]
Lu Yao: “… Got it.”
Time suddenly becomes tight as we have to find the demon and complete the mission within seven days.
System: [Shopkeeper, I have a question.]
Lu Yao:
This is rare, and the system will also encounter problems.
System: [Time has exploded. ]
Upon hearing this, Lu Yao went to see the warehouse. The first compartment contained the income from opening a store in this world - time.
According to the rules, each grid in the warehouse can hold two thousand identical items. At this time, the first grid is full, and the unit is "year".
Lu Yao: "... Can't you pretend a little more?"
How many things did she sell? How come it’s been two thousand years
System: [Sorry, "time" is a very special currency. Even this system cannot use it at will.]
Lu Yao: "Then why can the residents of Dreamland control their own lifespan?"
System: [When they came here, they received gifts from the Demon God.]
A gift from the devil
It seems to be the ability to freely control one's life span.
It turns out that in addition to illusion, there is such a miraculous ability.
When she finds the demon, perhaps she will also be able to gain this ability.
Lu Yao: "Before finding the demon god, is there any other way to store this time?"
System: [This system can transfer the time in the warehouse to the store owner's life span at one time, and can be executed once a month.]
Lu Yao: “…”
Isn't there a solution
Having your lifespan extended by two thousand years for no reason is a bit like growing grass.
Time is such a fleeting existence that she has no real sense of it. She just feels more sorry for her wallet.
Two thousand years, no wonder my wallet has become so much thinner.
After the system was executed, the grids in the warehouse became empty and could continue to store the snack bar's income.
During the time that Lu Yao was negotiating with the system, the shop assistants had quickly finished cleaning the store and were chatting in the kitchen.
"I'm very tired today, let's go back and rest." Lu Yao took out a few lunch boxes made with magic from the kitchen cabinet, "I made dinner in advance, you can take it back."
"Shopkeeper, you prepared lunch boxes for us in advance?" Xiao Qie asked in surprise.
Everyone else looked frightened. Lu Yao had been busy in the store yesterday, preparing ingredients for today's sale with them. No one knew when she found the time to cook for them.
Lu Yao: "I made it in the middle of the night. It's relatively simple, so I'll just deal with it."
"Shopkeeper~" Xingzi rushed over and hugged Lu Yao.
After chatting with the shop assistants for a while and distributing the lunch boxes, Lu Yao let them go back.
Bai Ming was the last one left, and Lu Yao called him.
"Bai Ming, wait a moment."
Bai Ming paused and looked back at her, "Hmm?"
Lu Yao: "Do you know the Demon Lord?"
Bai Ming nodded: "I know."
Lu Yao was delighted. Bai Ming was really capable and knew everything. He took a step forward and asked, "Then do you know where He is?"
Bai Ming shook his head: "We can exist here because of the power of the Demon God, but no one knows where the Demon God is."
Seeing Lu Yao was a little disappointed, Bai Ming thought about it carefully and said, "Guardian of the Paradise, if you want to know, I will find a chance to ask."
!
Lu Yao couldn't help but praise Bai Ming for being reliable again in his heart, and nodded to thank him: "Okay, thank you. I'll bring you some snacks tomorrow."
Bai Ming curled his lips: "Okay."
Shortly after the clerk left, the market delivered the goods.
Lu Yao moved the goods into the store by himself and was busy in the store for another two hours preparing the ingredients for tomorrow's use.
At around seven o'clock in the evening, everything was almost ready. She took off her apron, washed her hands, and prepared to go home and rest.
System: [Shopkeeper, someone is waiting for you outside. ]
Lu Yao: “Who?”
System: [Zhuang Liang.]
Lu Yao thought for a while before digging out the name from the depths of his memory, "Why did he come to see me?"
System: [I don’t know. But there is one thing you need to pay attention to.]
Lu Yao: “?”
System: [This store is special, no one else can enter. ]
Lu Yao: "Will he die if he comes in?"
System: [Do you know? ]
Lu Yao shook his head, "I guessed."
After learning about Qi Chen's experience, she roughly understood that the Dreamland is not a world that ordinary people can easily enter.
The snack bar currently belongs to a special space where two time and space overlap, but because this door connects to the underworld, ordinary people who come in are like stepping into the realm of death, and it is normal for them to die.
If you think about it this way, sometimes she is not in the store, it would be very dangerous if someone broke into the store.
She was extremely grateful that this street was located in a remote area, had been abandoned for many years, and few people came here normally.
[Spend 10,000 popularity points to cover the snack bar with a "witch's veil". When the owner is not in the store, the store will be automatically hidden for one month. ]
[Spend 5,000 popularity points to reinforce the star gate. No one except the store owner can break in. The validity period is permanent. ]
The shop that has opened the time and space gate becomes a special space, and from then on it can only be entered through the door. No matter how dilapidated other places seem, you cannot enter the shop.
The system calls the space-time gate a "star gate".
Lu Yao thought for a moment and said, "Spend 15,000 popularity points, add both."
After taking protective measures, Lu Yao opened the door and found Zhuang Liang standing outside.
Zhuang Liang turned his head when he heard the voice and looked at Lu Yao with a strong scrutiny, "Miss Lu, we meet again."
Lu Yao stood by the door and did not go out rashly: "Mr. Zhuang, what's the matter?"
"Well, there is something. Can we go in and talk?"
Zhuang Liang wanted to go into the store to investigate, and the investigation report showed that Lu Yao and Qi Chen were indeed not more deeply involved.
But according to the investigation results, she has many puzzling behaviors.
For example, on the eve of graduation, I suddenly inherited an abandoned commercial street.
This area is remote and there are usually no customers, but she opened a snack bar and purchased a large amount of ingredients from the market, which she supplies on a long-term basis.
The delivery guy who often comes to the market finds it weird that the owner never lets him into the store. She unloads the goods at the door and carries them into the store by herself.
The people hired by Zhuang Liang also observed nearby for many days. They found that Lu Yao would order goods almost every other day, but they had never seen any customers enter the store, and had no idea where the goods ended up.
Lu Yao remained calm and made way for him. "Do you really want to come in?"
Zhuang Liang took a look and found the store was very clean, just an ordinary snack bar, but he suddenly felt nervous and his body instinctively sounded the alarm.
There was something very wrong with this store.
Her attitude was also very strange, too calm, which made her seem very dangerous.
Zhuang Liang took a step back, the smile on his face fading a bit: "Let's go out and talk."
Lu Yao did not refuse. She turned around, picked up her bag, locked the door and left with him.
After leaving the shop, the dangerous and strange atmosphere dissipated. Zhuang Liang took a deep breath and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "How is the snack bar business of Miss Lu?"
Lu Yao felt very strange: "Mr. Zhuang came here just to ask this? What does my store's business have to do with you?"
Zhuang Liang was speechless. He was indeed curious about Lu Yao, but he couldn't find out more information, so he took the initiative to come to his house.
But if you think about it carefully, Lu Yao's behavior just looked a little strange, it didn't bother anyone else, and there was no sign of danger.
He checked all the goods she bought from the market, and they were all food ingredients.
She occasionally goes to a dessert shop in the city center, maybe she just likes the desserts there.
She always bought the coffee beans that Qi Chen liked, but these beans were not produced specifically for Qi Chen, so it was normal to have other customers.
In just a short distance, Zhuang Liang successfully got himself into a dilemma through self-reflection.
"Sorry, I'm just a little curious." Zhuang Liang said.
Lu Yao: "... Sorry, I think you are a little outrageous."
Zhuang Liang's ears turned slightly red. It had been many years since anyone had spoken to him so confidently. Especially after the amusement park appeared, more and more people came to him for help and respectfully called him Mr. Zhuang.
Lu Yao is so young, but she doesn't seem to be afraid of him at all.
Zhuang Liang felt embarrassed for the first time in a long time, and a little ashamed, "Sorry to bother you."
Lu Yao had no time to think about what he wanted to do this time. He was exhausted after a busy day. He went home and took two manicure appointments, took a shower, climbed into bed and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Lu Yao suddenly woke up and turned on the night light beside the bed.
She had a nightmare about Zhao Yuqing, who had come to her for a manicure not long ago.
She looked terrified, as if she was afraid of something, and kept asking her for help.
Lu Yao saw that it was only three o'clock in the morning. He got up, poured a glass of water, drank it, and lay back down on the bed.
-
The next morning, when the snack bar opened, the number of customers waiting in line was several times more than yesterday, and the wide open space on the ninety-ninth floor was almost full of people.
Guard Chang Bai Jian stood at the office window with a gloomy look in his eyes.
What is the magic of this snack bar
Why is everyone so obsessed with it? Is it more interesting than paradise
Isn't it just a snack bar
Bai Jian's gaze suddenly paused. Bai Ming and Qing were standing in the corner downstairs. Bai Ming handed a bag to Qing.
Qing took it, opened it and looked at it for a few seconds. He seemed quite satisfied. He looked up and said a few words to Bai Ming, then carried the things and slowly returned to the paradise.
Bai Jian was so angry that he walked around the office in circles.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Bai Jian sat back in his seat, trying to suppress his anger, "Come in."
Qing pushed the door open and came in, holding the familiar bag in his hand.
Bai Jian looked solemn and pretended not to notice, "What's the matter?"
Qing walked in, took out a box from the bag, and pushed it in front of Bai Jian, "Captain of the Guard, eat."
Bai Jian: “…”
You might as well make me die of rage.
Seeing that he didn't move, Qing pushed the box forward again, "Captain of the Guard, this is delicious."
Bai Jian turned his head and said, "If you don't want to eat it, take it away."
Even if Bai Jian died here today and jumped off the roof of the amusement park, he would rather not eat a bite of the food from the snack bar next door!
Qing's delicate eyebrows were squeezed together and there was confusion in his eyes.
Why would the captain of the guard refuse such delicious food
The guard chief is weird.
No wonder everyone else in the park isolated the chief guard and didn't even take him with them to the snack bar.
Bai Jian wanted to say something harsh to show his determination, but Qing raised his hand and opened the takeaway box.
The rich and tempting aroma of beef noodles came towards him, like a small hook, and went straight into Bai Jian's nose.
Bai Jian's narrow eyes widened as he stared at the steaming beef noodles for a few seconds before he looked up at Qing and spoke incoherently: "I...you..."
Qing nodded slightly, "It's delicious."
After serving the noodles, Qing said no more, turned around and left, returning to the office to enjoy the meal.
The box also contained new snack bar products sent by Bai Ming, including cream puffs and cream coffee pudding. The names of the products suggested they were delicious, but he was reluctant to give them to the captain of the guards.
Bai Jian was the only one left in the office. His shoulders and back were stiff, and his eyes were uncontrollably fixed on the beef noodles.
Is this the food at the snack bar
Hot and very fragrant.
It's completely different from those things created by illusion.
Why had no one ever told him this
Bai Jian completely forgot that he didn't hide his dislike for the snack bar.
The first time he asked Bubble and his three friends to cause trouble, they came back to report that the food in the snack bar was delicious, but he didn't take it seriously.
The second time, Bai Lu and Bai He were sent over. Those two were too smart. They must have discovered something special about the snack bar and did not report it.
Later, several employees of the park resigned and went to the snack bar. His resentment towards the snack bar became even deeper, and no one dared to mention the snack bar in front of him.
Until Qing came.
The captain of the guard struggled with himself for a long time, until the steam from the bowl of noodles was about to dissipate, and he reached out and picked up the chopsticks.
Well, just have a taste.
Just one bite.
