Lu Yao stayed in the nail salon that afternoon and was unaware of the incident at the snack bar next door.
The advertisement of Lu Yao Snack Shop is still played on a loop on the train every day. Many people who do not take the train have learned about the existence of the snack shop through their relatives, friends and acquaintances. In addition, the news that someone died in the snack shop some time ago spread, and almost everyone rushed to Area A. The subway was paralyzed every day.
After realizing that the trains were not very convenient, many people started making their own cars, sedans, and motorcycles. The deserted streets gradually became bustling with cars and became much more lively than before.
People flocked to Area A, but the snack bar was only so big and the supply was limited. Every day, a large number of residents waited outside the snack bar and could not buy food.
This situation has not happened for just one or two days, but has been happening every day for some time.
Some people can eat it, some can eat it occasionally, some can never get in line, or they are just about to get in line every time, because the snack bar has sold out its ingredients and closed.
As time went on, the conflict escalated, people started quarreling, and then fought.
The residents of Dreamland are undead, and there will be no casualties in fights, it is purely an emotional release.
But if we allow conflicts to accumulate, they will explode sooner or later, and then the snack bar may be affected.
They are ghosts, but the store is real.
The chief guard didn't want any accidents to happen in the snack bar, so after some consideration, he issued a notice to summon all the heads of District 13.
Each area has management personnel, scattered among the park guards.
They were originally the guards of the devil. After the devil fell asleep in paradise, these people had to maintain the normal operation of the paradise and ensure the stability and normality of the dreamland.
Unless a major incident occurs, managers from all regions rarely gather together.
The chief guard sent out a notice in the morning, and in the afternoon, the twelve area managers and park guards except for Area A arrived on the ninety-ninth floor of Area A on time.
Qing led them to the third-floor conference room. A manager in one of the remote areas looked at the snack bar and said, "Is that the snack bar that has been driving the residents crazy recently? Is it really that powerful?"
It looks like an ordinary three-story building, nothing special.
The head guard of Zone J was a serious-looking middle-aged man. Hearing this, he said, "It's really amazing. All the amnesiacs sent to our paradise have been cured."
The first person to speak was the guard of Area K, the only area in the district that did not have an amusement park. Compared with other areas, he was much less well-informed.
The news he heard in Area K were all beyond the Eighteen Hands. The news became more and more distorted as it was passed on, and in the end he didn't know whether he should believe it or not.
There is only one theme park in Area J, which is actually a sister area to Area K. After hearing what his colleagues in Area J said, the guard began to be genuinely curious about the snack bar. "I heard that the food in that store is really delicious. Have any of you tried it?"
The managers of the other eleven areas all shook their heads. They had been guarding their own areas and were also responsible for the operation of the theme parks in their areas, which involved a lot of affairs.
Even if I heard about this store, I couldn't come here to eat. Seeing the long line outside the store, I gave up the idea of coming here to eat.
So many people have to wait for several days just to have a meal. They can't understand why it is such a complete waste of time.
Instead of spending your time and energy on this, you might as well go into paradise and play games with the living.
At this time, Qing stood up, with a hint of pride, "I have eaten it, it is extremely delicious. After eating it, I even felt regretful. If I were still alive, how great it would be, so that I could enjoy those delicacies to my heart's content."
The guard in Area K looked at Qing with a suspicious look in his eyes, "I don't believe it unless you give me a bite."
Qing shook his head, a faint smile appeared in his eyes: "This method is useless. Even if the guards are long, you still have to queue up in that store."
This means that the captain of the guard has also been there.
The other guards exchanged glances, some became more curious about the snack bar, while others still didn't believe it.
Qing didn't say much and took them back to the meeting room.
Bai Jian sat in the middle of the conference table, waiting for everyone to take their seats.
He said in a deep voice: "I know you must have some questions in your mind, let's not talk about them for now, let's talk about it after dinner."
Bai Jian clapped his hands. Bai Ming and Xingzi appeared at the door of the meeting room carrying a pile of lunch boxes. Xingzi smiled and said, "Boss Bai, the lunch boxes you ordered have arrived."
Bai Jian: “…”
I really want to pretend, but can you please not be so rustic
I want to cover my face.
Bai Ming and Xingzi put down their lunch boxes and ran away, leaving the guard captain alone to face the guards' curious eyes. He raised his hand to rub his forehead and ordered: "Qing, help distribute it, one for each person."
The captain of the guard usually had to queue at the back when going to the snack bar.
In order to order this box lunch, he revealed to Bai Ming that the guards' attitude was the key to solving the snack bar's current overcrowded customer problem, which gave him this opportunity.
Why look for Bai Ming? Because he is the deputy store manager now.
After Qing distributed the lunch boxes, he took his own and returned to his seat.
The manager of Area A is the captain of guard, but the captain of guard is usually busy with affairs, so some things are handed over to Qing, such as monitoring the forum information of the paradise.
It was no problem to attend the meeting. The main thing was that I could get a box lunch, which was a pleasant surprise.
Among the guards in several areas, those who had actually eaten at the snack bar were either in Area A or had already resigned. The rest became employees of the snack bar. Except for Bai Jian and Qing, everyone else present was seeing take-out from the snack bar for the first time.
The guard in Area K opened the box immediately after receiving it. Before he could even see the food, the aroma hit his nose. His eyes lit up, "It smells so good!"
The other guards also opened their lunch boxes. A separate bowl of soup was placed in another round box. In the lunch box, there was a portion of white rice, a portion of cold cucumber salad, a portion of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a portion of stir-fried chicken with double peppers.
Various aromas filled the conference room. Someone couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, took a bite, and stared in disbelief: "This... is actually real!"
The guard in Area K spun his rice too fast and choked, so he opened his soup bowl and took a gulp.
The sweet and warm taste made him tremble. It turned out that this bowl was made of rice wine meatballs. It was sweet and delicious!!!
A guard nearby was crying as he ate: "Oh my god! What kind of divine delicacy is this? Don't tell me that the guards in Area A eat this stuff every day!"
Qing: "Almost. This is the food from the snack bar. But the owner is not here today, so her cooking skills are even better."
If it’s better than this, how much more delicious would it be
The other guards were initially curious and shocked, but now they were starting to feel jealous.
After everyone finished their meal, Bai Jian started to talk business: "The main topic of calling you here today is about this snack bar. After eating these things, I believe you have understood the significance of that store to us."
The guards were skeptical at first, and now they just wished they could move to the ninety-ninth floor right away so they could come here to eat every day.
Bai Jian said: "I have an idea. If you agree, we will implement it according to the rules from now on. If you disagree, please come up with a better plan."
The biggest problem at present is that the snack bar can only supply a limited amount of food every day, which is far from meeting the needs of the thirteen regions.
The plan proposed by Bai Jian is to change living areas, with residents from the thirteen areas taking turns to live in Area A, changing every month.
Residents who live in Area A that month can line up to eat at the snack bar. The pressure of one area is always less than that of thirteen areas combined.
There are no problems with housing prices or real estate in the Land of Dreams. People just go with the flow. In the beginning, this place was actually an ancient battlefield.
Although this proposal was troublesome, it was the best solution at present and was quickly passed unanimously.
Bai Jian was satisfied. In fact, he came up with this plan after hearing that Bai Ming became the deputy store manager.
The employees of the snack bar all want to be the deputy manager, and they all go to the manager for help.
Everyone hopes that the store manager favors them, but Lu Yao's idea of a rotation system, where each person serves as deputy store manager for a week, gave him inspiration.
After solving the first important problem, Bai Jian signaled Qing to speak.
Qing turned on the Dreamland Paradise's special laptop and showed the guards the recent discussions among players in the forum, especially a post about selling the black ring.
A guard finished looking at it first, "This ring has not been used yet. It has the mark of the guard's long soul power."
Another person continued, "The person who got the ring wants to sell it. There's a lot of noise downstairs. Is three hundred thousand a lot of money? I don't understand these living people very well. At least twenty years of life doesn't seem to be worth much to them."
Bai Jian said with a dark face: "The ring is a food subsidy given to the store owner by the Demon Lord, but she can't seem to sell it."
The guards didn't know how serious the "unsale" issue was, so Qing Dai explained it and the guards began to panic.
"If she doesn't have money to open the store, we'll have nothing to eat, is that what you mean?"
Someone was smarter and asked directly: "What does the guard captain want us to do?"
Bai Jian said: "All parks will stop issuing black rings to the world of the dead, and the number of gray and white rings will be reduced to two-thirds of the original. This decision is not just for the store owner. I think that in addition to the parks, we still have many other things to do."
The emergence of snack bars has indirectly reduced their dependence on the theme park.
Bai Jian suddenly realized that relying solely on the paradise would not make the dreamland any better.
They need to look for other answers on how to live better in this empty world.
On the same day, a player from the park who had been waiting for a few days could not help but take a screenshot of Lu Yao's post on the forum and send it to a high-level player group. "Big guys, please help me see if this black ring is worth 300,000 yuan. It looks new and looks like it has never been used."
"Three hundred thousand? He could have just robbed you, but he gave you a useless broken ring instead."
"Boss, do you mean it's not worth it? I see her account is only level one, so she should be a newbie. I thought the ring must be new."
"If you want to buy a black ring now, don't talk if the price is over 100,000."
"Okay, I'll send her a private message to ask if she'll sell it for 100,000."
This person sent a private message to Lu Yao but received no reply.
When he checked again two days later, he found that the asking price of the ring had increased instead of decreased, from 300,000 to 1 million. He took a screenshot and posted it to the high-level player group, where he happily complained about hundreds of things with the high-level players.

Nail salon.
Si Jin raised his hand to admire the newly completed manicure from all angles and nodded with satisfaction.
The shop owner is really amazing. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to achieve the original effect the second time, but he didn't expect it to be exactly the same as before.
When he was about to pay the bill, Si Jin saw the magic book on the table and became curious: "Do you want to learn magic?"
Lu Yao nodded.
Si Jin picked up the magic book and flipped through it, frowning slightly: "This book is too superficial. You won't be able to learn practical magic in eight hundred years. Next time I will bring you a magic book."
Is there such a good thing
Are all dragons so helpful
Lu Yao blinked: "Thank you."
Si Jin threw four gold coins to her, walked to the door, and found that Harold had not followed, so he urged: "Harold, let's go."
Harold sat in a chair, holding a tablet and looking through nail art styles.
Si Jin had to force this thing on him, so he reluctantly took a look at it. Otherwise, he would not be interested in such a tacky and troublesome little thing.
Just as he was thinking this, Si Jin suddenly called him. He felt a little annoyed as he hadn't even seen the end yet.
Lu Yao came over and said tactfully: "It's too late, the shop is about to close. If you have any styles you like, you can make an appointment and come over tomorrow."
Harold: “…”
The little black dragon was both conflicted and angry. He admitted that he liked these little things a little and hadn't seen enough, but this human was driving him away.
The air seemed to be stagnant. In the end, Harold said nothing. He put down the tablet reluctantly and disappeared into the night.
The next morning, Lu Yao went to the snack bar as usual and met the captain of the guard.
The captain of the guard and Qing were eating beef noodles in the store. The captain of the guard came over and said a few words to her.
Lu Yao came out and logged into the Paradise Forum, changed the price of the black ring, and then went to the nail salon.
As soon as I opened the door, the system prompted: [The little black dragon has been waiting for you for a long time. ]
