Mission failed? What happened
Lu Yao was a little confused: "Isn't it only the final mission that has a time limit? How come the third one is invalid?"
System: [All tasks have deadlines, but the store owner completed the tasks too quickly in the previous store and did not receive the deadline notification.]
Lu Yao: "... Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
System: [Because there was no departure time limit warning before. ]
Lu Yao: “…”
It is true that listening to your words is like listening to a conversation.
The third task was to receive 100 guests. Lu Yao asked, "How many more are we left to reach 100?"
System: [Fifty-nine.]
Still so much left
She was so busy every day that she only received forty-one guests in these days.
Lu Yao began to reflect. She did not promote the nail salon too much because she was worried that she could not handle it alone. She always took the boutique route, striving to make each work novel and exquisite so as to live up to the expectations of her customers.
The reputation is good, but there are some problems in the store operation. It has not attracted enough customers, so now there are problems with the mission.
Lu Yao: "What will be the consequences if the mission fails?"
System: [The mission is invalid and the reward is reclaimed. The owner may not be able to obtain the key props in this world and the clues to the next world. The dream-fulfilling journey will end here.]
Lu Yao: “…”
Why are you talking about such an important thing now
Lu Yao didn't have the heart to curse the system, and quickly thought of a solution to the problem.
Seventy-two hours, or three days, requires receiving fifty-nine people.
Her appointments for the last three days are full, eight per day, a total of twenty-four people.
There are thirty-five guests left, and we must find a way to accommodate them.
Unfortunately, there were a lot of things to do that day, and Lu Yao remembered that he still had to take time out at noon to meet the customer who was buying a ring.
She first went to a snack bar, put down the fresh ingredients she bought in Onoton City last night, and took five breakfasts back to the nail salon.
After breakfast, while the customers who had made appointments had not yet arrived, Lu Yao summoned the three apprentices to the workbench, his face unusually serious: "You have been studying in the nail salon for a while, I want to know about your recent learning situation."
The three apprentices had different expressions. Mumu and Tina were surprised but still relaxed, while Eugenia looked very nervous.
Lu Yao took out three nail art samples and soothed them, "Don't be too nervous, it's just a simple test. There are three basic styles here, solid color, single color smudge and stamp nail art. You can choose the style you are interested in and practice. In the afternoon, I want to see your practice works."
The styles chosen by the store owner are relatively easy to use. Although customers who come to the store basically don’t choose them, they are good basic exercises for apprentice nail technicians.
With designated exam content and practice time, Eugenia was much more relaxed.
The apprentices chose their favorite styles and began practicing immediately, taking this small test very seriously.
Harold, a silly boy with nothing to do, pulled Lu Yao over and asked, "What are you going to do now?"
Lu Yao was about to turn around and discuss something with the system, but when he caught Harold, he didn't let him go and told him, "Don't run around this afternoon. I have something very important to give you."
Important things
The little black dragon lost his laziness and straightened his back and shoulders. "What's the matter?"
Lu Yao: "I'll tell you this afternoon."
So the little black dragon sat obediently on the sofa, stopped reading comic books, and waited for Lu Yao to give him an important task.
After calming down the little black dragon, Lu Yao typed into the system: "I drew a rough sketch of a flyer. Please print 2,000 copies for me before this afternoon."
System: [… What flyers? What do you want to do? ]
Lu Yao: "Stop talking nonsense, I'm busy now."
System: [Spending 20,000 popularity points can print 2,000 flyers. Does the store owner choose to print? ]
Lu Yao: "...Yes. What I want is the dynamic flyer, don't print it wrong."
system:[…]
Still can’t fool her, the owner is getting smarter and smarter.

At half past eleven, Lu Yao calculated the time and set out from the shopping street, taking an hour to reach the teahouse where he had agreed to meet with the guests.
She regretted that she had made the appointment too far away this time and that the trip was too tiring. Next time she meets a buyer, she will make the appointment at the same teahouse.
Lu Yao booked a private room in advance. When he arrived, the guests had already arrived, and as expected, he saw Zhuang Liang again.
The buyer this time was named Xiao. He was dressed in a suit and looked to be in his forties, with a somewhat gloomy look on his face.
When Zhuang Liang saw Lu Yao, he subconsciously stood up and said, "Miss Lu."
Lu Yao nodded, and after sitting down, he didn't even plan to order tea. He took out the ring and pushed it over: "Inspect it."
Zhuang Liang knew that there would be no problem with the ring she took out, so he checked it as a routine and looked at Xiao Zhiwei, "No problem, it's a new ring."
Xiao Zhiwei reached out to take the ring, but Lu Yao took it back first, "Mr. Xiao, is the payment ready?"
Xiao Zhiwei took out a suitcase from under the table: "Here is 500,000 yuan."
Lu Yao: “?”
Zhuang Liang had a bad feeling.
Xiao Zhiwei folded his hands and looked at Lu Yao with contempt. His eyebrows suddenly raised, bringing a strong sense of oppression: "Life is not easy for people who want to survive. The price of two million is really too much. Miss Lu, can you be more generous? Sell it to me for five hundred thousand."
Lu Yao was a little annoyed. It would have been fine if the deal couldn't be done, but it wasted so much of her time.
She put away the black ring and stood up: "I hope Mr. Xiao can bargain with the god of death when the time comes. Maybe he will be lenient and let you live from three o'clock to five o'clock. I won't sell the ring."
Xiao Zhiwei smiled and clapped his hands. Four bodyguards in suits and sunglasses pushed the door open and blocked the entrance.
"Ms. Lu, I advise you to sell the ring to me." Xiao Zhiwei looked Lu Yao up and down, expecting her to humiliate herself and compromise and hand over the ring.
Xiao Zhiwei is a real estate boss in a nearby city. He found a gray ring at home and learned that he would not live long, so he hurriedly ran to the forum to ask for a black ring.
Just during the few days of waiting to trade with Lu Yao, he spent some time in the forum and found out that the black ring could be purchased for as low as $100,000.
The businessman's mind worked quickly, and soon he infiltrated the park's high-level players group and got some information - the seller of the black ring seemed to be a young girl who was not very worldly-wise.
When Xiao Zhiwei arrived in Yaoguang City, he first found Zhuang Liang, also known as Mr. Zhuang, and asked him to help inspect the goods.
In his mind, he had a plan: if the ring was indeed new, he would force the seller to pay 500,000 yuan for it. If the seller was unwilling, he might not even have to spend 500,000 yuan, and could just snatch it away.
The atmosphere in the room was tense. Zhuang Liang immediately stood up and hurriedly explained to Lu Yao: "Miss Lu, this matter has nothing to do with me. He just asked me to help check the ring. I didn't know he only prepared 500,000."
Xiao Zhiwei secretly sneered, thinking that Mr. Zhuang was nothing special and was so cowardly that it was laughable.
Lu Yao took out the black ring from his pocket again and looked at Zhuang Liang strangely: "I don't think I did anything to you, why are you so afraid of me?"
“…”Zhuang Liang’s scalp tingled and he let out a smile that was uglier than crying.
Xiao Zhiwei was very proud and stretched out his hand to take the ring from Lu Yao's hand, "That's right, little girl, don't be too greedy."
Zhuang Liang glanced at Lu Yao's ring and couldn't help but feel sorry for Boss Xiao. This was not the same ring he had just seen.
The one she took out was the one she had asked him to inspect for the first time in the tea room. It might be the only black ring in the game that had unlimited uses.
Lu Yao looked at Xiao Zhiwei with a faint smile: "Mr. Xiao is greedy, don't fall down somewhere."
As he spoke, he slowly put on the ring. A number appeared above his head, and the next second his figure disappeared.
Xiao Zhiwei looked unhappy, and pounded the table. Tea splashed out and burned the back of his hand. He was so angry that he threw the tea set on the table and turned to look at Zhuang Liang: "Did she enter the game? Does she think she can run away? Humph, I'll wait here. She must come out eventually!"
Even though he couldn't buy the ring, he still wanted to vent his anger.
Zhuang Liang did not reply. He had just seen the number above Lu Yao's head - six thousand eight hundred and ninety-five.
How long has it been
Her life span was extended by nearly another five thousand years.
So is it a human or a monster
Zhuang Liang didn't dare to think about it too much. He left a sentence "She won't come back, and don't come to see me again", and walked out of the tea room without looking back.

Lu Yao entered the paradise and was accidentally transported to a large-scale killing scene.
The blood on the ground was still warm, and most of the players present were dead, except for one person.
Qi Jue was tortured to pieces, his hands and feet were broken, and only one hand remained which looked intact on the surface, but was completely shattered inside.
This was his third time entering paradise. If he died here, he would die when he came out.
The blood demon grabbed his head and lifted it up, slowly applying force, preparing to crush it on the spot.
Qi Jue's vision was blurred, and he seemed to see Qi Chen standing by the river waving at him. He knew that he couldn't get through this level.
It's so hard to survive.
Thinking of the tragic death of Qi Chen, Qi Jue couldn't help but feel sad. Who will help him collect his body this time
I hope the scene isn’t too horrific. The older generation of the Qi family can’t withstand such a tragic death.
Lu Yao didn't look at the bloody man carefully. She hurried back to the store and wanted to find an NPC to take her to the exit.
She saw that the monster NPC not far away looked very similar to Qing whom she had seen last time, so she asked tentatively: "Qing?"
The Blood Demon's back stiffened, and he slowly let go of Qi Jue, leaving him behind and turned around: "Why did you come in again?"
Lu Yao grabbed his hand, not caring about the blood on it, and hurriedly "complained", "I went to deliver the ring, but was coerced by the buyer, so I had to enter the game to escape."
As one of the game administrators, Qing accepted the "complaint" in person, turned around and led her to the exit, "I will invite him to be a guest in the highest-level game in the park for a few days, and then ban his account."
Lu Yao: "What will happen to him after his account is banned?"
Qing: "Nothing, just can't enter the park anymore."
… This can be said to be the most severe punishment.
Qi Jue heard a familiar voice in his blurred consciousness and struggled to open his eyes.
His eyeballs were covered with blood and he couldn't see clearly.
But Lu Yao was talking to Qing as they walked. Qi Jue didn't understand what they were talking about, but he recognized Lu Yao's voice.
Suddenly, he remembered the post he had seen on the forum. The novice female player loved by the NPC was indeed her.
He was sure it was her outside the snack bar that time, but the shocking feeling he had when he met her in the game was completely different from that time.
He seemed to understand the excitement of the player who posted the message.
The corners of Qi Jue's mouth curved slightly, as if he was also saved by her.
-
Lu Yao stood at the exit and suddenly remembered something. He couldn't help but ask: "Qing, Bai Ming told me before that when you have no time, you can come to the game to plunder other people's time. It shouldn't be the time of the living, right?"
Qing turned his head and asked, "Why do you feel that this is not the time for the living?"
Lu Yao: "There was no paradise here in the beginning. Your time must come from somewhere."
Now that the park has become smaller in size, the lives of the residents of Dreamland do not seem to have been greatly affected.
Qing seemed to sigh, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Our time comes from the Demon God. We have been plundering the Demon God's power."
If one day, the demon loses his power, this world will disappear.

When Lu Yao came out of the amusement park, he unexpectedly saved time on the return trip and arrived at the nail salon at around 1:00 p.m.
The customer who had an appointment for the afternoon just arrived at the store. She calmed herself down and immediately got into work mode.
While the customer was still choosing the style, the system prompted that the flyers were ready.
Lu Yao called Harold and pushed a pile of flyers to him: "Go to Braibis this afternoon and distribute these flyers in crowded places. If you meet a pretty lady, be sweet-talking and make sure she accepts them."
The capital city of Braibis is the most prosperous city in the country. It has a large population and a developed economy. There are definitely more people willing to spend some spare money to experience new things than anywhere else.
Although he had never been to this metropolis in person, Lu Yao had a feeling when he received the students from the Magic Academy that their spending power was much higher than that of the residents of Emerald Town.
Harold had been looking forward to it the whole day, thinking that Lu Yao was going to assign him an important task, at least one as difficult as hunting a level 20 monster.
He looked at the colorful flyer in front of him, his face frozen: "Is this an important mission?"
"Yes. Don't be lazy. This mission is related to the survival of the nail salon. It is really important."
Lu Yao has become very skilled at coaxing the little black dragon.
Harold didn't want to go. He stood on the street trying to please the humans. Just thinking about it made the dragons angry. What qualifications did they have to stand there
Lu Yao looked at the troubled face of the little black dragon, frowned slightly, and said with regret: "I thought only you could do this. It doesn't matter if you are not competent, let Mumu go later. Mumu is sweet and cute, this job will be easy for him."
Mumu took the time to make a "chi" sound.
Harold felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it, and he felt very aggrieved.
What can the little slime do, why can't he do it
Harold picked up a stack of flyers and stormed out the door.
