Guide to Running a Shop in Another World

Chapter 257: The sixth store

Views:

This historic port city was not called Sanhua City sixty years ago.

It has a down-to-earth name - Three Fishes.

As more people came, a lively atmosphere became prevalent, and Lu Yao and his party gradually became addicted to the pure and simple atmosphere of the small town of Sanyu.

222 Holding a sugar-painted rabbit in his left hand and a dough figurine in his right hand, his face showed a rare freshness: "The Sanhua Market sixty years ago was more interesting than it is now."

444 carefully held a set of tea utensils and said, "In an era without superpowers, there is no research institute, and there is no need for a sanatorium. I like it here."

Xie Molin fell behind, walking side by side with Lin Xue. He couldn't help but look around. The uneasiness he had when he first entered the city seemed like an illusion.

Lin Xue looked at Lu Yao and Bu Du who were walking in front of her with an unclear expression.

Xie Molin noticed and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Lin Xue looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and took a step closer to him, with doubt in her eyes: "Is the store owner really a superpower?"

Xie Molin raised his eyebrows slightly: "What did you see?"

Lu Yao’s abilities are indeed a mystery.

They have been doing research related to superpowers. In recent years, some researchers have found that the number of people with special, high-attack and ancient superpowers has been decreasing year by year, and there are fewer and fewer people with high qualifications.

The reason is currently unknown.

However, rare special abilities like Lu Yao's have never been recorded in the sixty years since the emergence of super powers.

What's rare is that she has developed this ability to the extreme. Not to mention the small toys and snacks in the store, the time machine alone is enough to make people salivate.

In fact, Xie Molin was very curious about the shop owner, but Lu Yao rarely mentioned his own affairs. Even if he asked indirectly, the shop owner would just brush it off with a few words.

After trying several times, Xie Molin gave up.

Lin Xue frowned and whispered, "You know my ability. On the first day I came to the cram school, I found that the owner had no ability fluctuations, and I thought I was seeing things. After observing for a few days, I can be sure. But I can't figure out if the owner is a person without ability, where did the time machine come from?"

Xie Molin was shocked. He had thought a lot about Lu Yao's abilities, but had never considered this possibility.

To put it more extremely, in the world sixty years from now, people without super powers will be no different from disabled people.

But Lin Xue's eyes would not make mistakes. She could see power fluctuations that ordinary people could not see, and could tell the strength of superpowers from the state of the fluctuations.

Lin Xue added: "I later discovered that Teacher Bai also had no fluctuations, but she and the shop owner gave me a different feeling."

Xie Molin also felt that Bai Yi was very interested in superpowers, but when everyone in the lounge occasionally discussed topics related to abilities, she rarely spoke and never revealed her abilities.

He thought Bai Yi was reluctant to reveal her superpowers, and if Lin Xue hadn't said it, no one would have thought that she was powerless.

Xie Molin saw Lu Yao and Dai Du picking toys at a stall in front of him and asked in a low voice, "What about Bu Du?"

Lin Xue couldn't help but tremble slightly, and was silent for two breaths before speaking: "That's a monster."

The feeling that the little boy gave her was also very strange. His fluctuations were so strong that they oppressed the surroundings, but he showed no signs of being able to run wild.

Xie Molin raised the question: "Is it possible that the shop owner's ability was weakened because he was not born alone?"

This idea is also supported by research results. After a mother gives birth to a child, her superpowers become weaker, and even the abilities of the next generation are weaker than those of their parents.

This phenomenon has become increasingly common in recent years.

Lu Yao bought a bunch of gadgets for Budu, including rattles, paper windmills, and dough figurines. He turned around and saw Xie Molin and Lin Xue walking slower and slower, so he waved and asked them to hurry up.

They walked around the city for two hours and had a great time, and before they knew it they were hungry.

The subject wanted to go out to a restaurant and try the delicacies of this era.

Lu Yao stopped them and led the group across the bridge, back to the riverside, ready to leave.

On the deserted river bank, silver light slowly enveloped everyone, and when they opened their eyes again, they had returned to the cram school.

Just after returning and still immersed in the novelty of traveling through time and space, 222 found that he had nothing in his hands, and the things he bought at Sanyu were gone.

444 suddenly asked, "Where's the owner?"

The people who were busy looking for things then realized that Lu Yao was not there, and they didn't see Budu either.

696: "Going to the bathroom?"

Lin Xue: "I just came out, there's no one in the bathroom."

Xie Molin's expression was slightly solemn: "The owner and Budu probably didn't come back with us."

Lin Xue: "The time machine broke down?"

There were originally ornaments of the little black dragon Alfred and a small silver ball on the table, but now only the bases were left, and neither the little dragon nor the small silver ball were put back in place.

Xie Molin gently frowned: "This has never happened before."

696 traced the base of the empty **** with his fingers: "What should we do? Should we ask the research institute for help?"

Three fishes by the river.

Lu Yao and Bu Du were still standing there.

I don't know when fog appeared on the river surface. A small boat floated downstream, and a shadowy figure appeared on the bow.

Not only did he hold Lu Yao tightly, but blood also coagulated in the palm of his right hand. The bright red and warm blood gradually turned into a blade, with a drop of bright red on the tip of the blade about to fall.

Lu Yao felt a little nervous and shook the hand that He was holding.

In the blink of an eye, the boat docked, and the figure standing on the bow moved slightly and floated down in front of Lu Yao.

The woman in the emerald dress had a bright and beautiful face, and her long hair, which almost reached the ground, was tied up with a flowing golden headband.

Different appearance, similar aura, Lu Yao suddenly thought of Cuihuangxing.

The woman glanced at Bu Du, then looked up at Lu Yao and said in a cold voice: "Who are you?"

"My name is Lu Yao." Lu Yao said confidently, "You are the god of this world."

The goddess stared at Lu Yao for a while, disappointment in her eyes, "After so many years, there is another being who chooses Shadow, but it's a pity that it's a human. But you are quite courageous, daring to bring a child from another world to my world."

Not only did he frown and say: "Sixty years from now, this world will have no gods and no children."

The gods guide their own world with their own will, and there are rules between them.

Except for some special beings, gods cannot cross the world line without permission and enter the world of other gods.

Generally speaking, the power of children is not enough to support them to cross the world line.

Not only was he able to come to this world, he also relied on the power of the Star Gate.

As soon as he stepped through the star gate, he knew that the gods of this world had died.

The fact that the world without gods has continued to run peacefully for sixty years is enough to show how powerful the original gods of this world are.

But I’m afraid it won’t last much longer.

A god without his people will die.

Just like the god of balance in the third shop.

If it weren't for the mother and that man, that world and the God of Balance would have died.

A world without gods and children will sooner or later come to an end.

Just like this world.

The goddess had a pair of beautiful golden eyes. Her pupils trembled slightly when she heard this, and she clenched her palms: "Sixty years, only lasted sixty years?"

Lu Yao interrupted, "Excuse me, what does it mean to choose 'shadow'?"

The goddess seemed to be in some kind of fear. It took her a while to come back to her senses. She looked at Lu Yao strangely: "You don't know?"

Bu Du stood in front of Lu Yao, trying to block the goddess's inquiring gaze: "Mother has lost some of her memory."

"Mother?" The goddess looked at Bu Du, and after a while, she looked at Lu Yao again, with a different meaning in her eyes: "My name is Fula. Lu Yao, I want to ask you a favor. In exchange, I promise to fulfill one of your wishes."

Combined with what he just said, Lu Yao guessed that it might be related to the sick people in the city.

When Lu Yao and Bu Du came to Sanyu for the first time, they found some strange phenomena here. People walking on the road suddenly fell down, their bones softened, and they could never stand up again.

Today Lu Yao and Bu Du conducted another secret investigation.

This strange disease has an unknown cause and unknown transmission route, and there is no effective treatment in this era.

If a person gets this disease, he can only drag it out until he dies.

The scary thing is that this type of patients exists not only in the small town of Sanyu, but also in the surrounding towns.

But in the future, this disease should have been conquered.

At least Lu Yao had never met anyone with this disease in Sanhua City.

Lu Yao tactfully told Fulla that the matter had been resolved.

After hearing this, Fulla was not relieved. Her expression became more serious: "It's not over yet. What I want to ask of you is exactly about sixty years later."

Lu Yao shook his head: "As you said, I am just a human, I am afraid I don't have the ability to share the worries of the gods."

Fulla looked down and saw the eyeball bracelet on Lu Yao's wrist. She also sensed several familiar auras and the aura of the dragon clan, and secretly rolled her eyes.

How could he, who was covered in all sorts of tokens of being half a god, say such shameless words

Fula sighed, sat down by the river, picked up stones and threw them into the river: "Humans are fragile and sentimental, and they still don't know themselves. Life is short, but they like to chase after elusive thoughts. But this is the first time I've seen someone as crazy as you.

"Lu Yao, you are entangled in a rather troublesome contract. Whether it is to cancel the contract or to fulfill the contract, you will need a lot of strength.

"If you are willing to help me, as the goddess in charge of wealth and fertility, I can give you some of my power."

Lu Yao stood still: "It's strange that gods who have a long time and supreme power always like to ask humans for help."

Fulla: “…”

He probably knew the origin of her collection of divine tokens.

After the goddess of abundance was speechless, Lu Yao felt more relaxed. He sat down next to her and picked up a piece of hay to play with: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Having opened so many stores, Lu Yao has some experience.

When you encounter a god, you are almost about to encounter the ultimate mission.

Fulla has a sharp tongue. Unlike the kind and gentle goddess of the deep sea, she has a cheerful personality and is a very energetic goddess.

Lu Yao let go, and He did not hesitate.

Lu Yao learned the reason for the emergence of super powers in the future and decided to accept the commission of the Goddess of Fertility, thus receiving the blessing of the goddess.

In the cram school, Xie Molin and Lin Xue were discussing whether to call the research institute when suddenly a bright silver light appeared in a corner of the room.

Lu Yao and Bu Du are back.

By the Sanyu River, Lu Yao didn't feel anything.

When she returned to the cram school, she was suddenly overwhelmed by exhaustion. She did not bother to explain in detail and only said that the time machine did not have enough energy to carry so many people at once, and that changing the battery took a while.

This was the first time Lin Xue heard that the time machine was powered by batteries, and she couldn't help but want to know more.

444 and 696 next to them also looked interested.

Seeing that the shop owner looked tired and unsteady, Xie Molin stopped the people who wanted to ask more questions and asked them to go home first.

After the clerk left, Lu Yao was too weak to move and was solely responsible for closing the store.

As if he was a child running errands for his family for the first time, he not only looked serious but also carefully checked the door lock outside.

He was only thinking of getting some snacks, so he followed Bu Du around like a follower.

In the lounge, Lu Yao was leaning on the sofa wrapped in a blanket, his eyes unfocused.

She tried hard to concentrate and wait for Bu Du to come back.

But sleepiness came like a ferocious beast, and consciousness was instantly cut off.

When he came back from outside and found Lu Yao asleep, he tried to put a few more thick blankets on her.

He took off his shoes and carefully crawled to Lu Yao's side.

Afraid that the cold air would infect her, he held a corner of the blanket in his palm, tilted his head towards Lu Yao, and closed his eyes contentedly.
