Bai Jian nodded: "We have done some research recently and can open an online trading channel for you."
Bai Jian soon found out about the danger Lu Yao encountered during his last offline transaction.
After his forum live broadcast account was blocked, he began to consider the issue of transaction security.
The desires of the living are too complicated, and Lu Yao alone cannot guard against them.
The only world they can control is in games and forums.
Bai Jian went to find Gao Yang and borrowed a talent who had worked in small program development before. He implanted an exclusive small program for the store owner in the forum to facilitate online transactions.
Lu Yao was a little surprised. The guard captain and the train conductor were so strong that they could even do such a thing.
After the last transaction failed, she hadn’t been on the forum for a long time, and hadn’t posted a new thread to sell the black ring.
She did have some concerns, as her world had no star gate and was not protected by the system.
In reality, she is alone and always goes to the transaction site in person, which can easily lead to problems over time.
When she encounters bad guys, she can escape into the game, but she always has to return to her own world and it is impossible for her to run away forever.
However, the transaction amount of the ring is relatively large. From the buyer's perspective, he would definitely feel uneasy if he cannot see the person doing the transaction.
If a third party that both parties trust is involved, the transaction becomes much simpler.
Lu Yao completely trusted the captain of the guards anyway. The black ring was issued by the amusement park, and the funds were recovered. If it was not through the snack bar, the money would be waste paper.
As for buyers, Trustland is their only choice.
"How to conduct the transaction? Just post the ring on the forum?" Lu Yao was very interested in the new function and took out his mobile phone to log in to the forum.
Bai Jian nodded. "Okay, put it up. If a buyer buys it, the other party will receive instructions for the transaction and then conduct the transaction directly in the game. If it is inconvenient for you, you can leave the ring in the park. The guard will help with the transaction, and the money will be sent to the snack bar."
There is definitely no way to transfer money. This online transaction is equivalent to online reservation and offline transaction, and the transaction location is in a safe and controllable game.
Lu Yao thought this was a good idea, safe and worry-free, and she didn't have to take time off to travel around.
She took out a black ring, shot a short video, and posted it back on the forum. When setting the price, she hesitated for a moment and directly wrote "five million".
After posting, Lu Yao clicked on the title and saw a link below the video. Clicking it took him to the transaction page.
Enter the transaction page, there are arrows to guide buyers.
The process is roughly similar to the current orange software, and you can send messages to sellers directly online.
After Lu Yao understood the operation method, he withdrew.
"It's very useful. Thank you for your help." Lu Yao thanked the captain of the guard with a smile.
Bai Jian's face was solemn, his fingers moved slightly, a little uncomfortable, and finally shook his head in a stiff arc, "It's okay, helping you is helping the residents of Dreamland."
He came over to talk about this.
After finishing his talk, Bai Jian stood up and prepared to leave.
Lu Yao sent the captain of the guard out and walked out the door. His eyes suddenly widened. Is this the land of dreams
During this time, she was busy with tasks at the nail salon and training apprentices.
I usually come to the snack bar, put down the ingredients and leave, and I haven’t come out to take a look for a long time.
When she first came to the 99th floor, this wide and spacious space had a movie theater on the left, an amusement park on the right, and a small, shabby snack bar in the middle.
It hasn't been long since new stores appeared around the snack bar, including hotels, KTVs, art studios, and dance studios...
Apart from accommodation, everything else is developing towards interests, but compared with the previous Dreamland which was completely dependent on the theme park, the changes are really huge.
Bai Jian noticed her surprise and raised his chin slightly, saying with a hint of relief, "They seem to have gradually found what they once liked. However, the opportunity for all these changes was this snack bar."
In this world, everything except time is supported by illusion.
It’s not like residents haven’t developed their own interests and hobbies in the past.
Especially for the dead who have just arrived in the land of dreams and find that they have gained eternal life, their first reaction is ecstasy. They are extremely happy just thinking about doing what they like in endless time.
But that happiness faded quickly, and no matter what they did, everything became boring after a while.
Because there is a lack of real support and the motivation to move forward.
The emergence of snack bars has given people the simplest goal of happiness.
I met up with friends to sing some songs, and then went to a snack bar for a meal. Everything seemed like a normal leisure time.
I practice painting in the studio, learn dancing in the dance studio, go out with two friends, have a cup of coffee and order a dessert at the snack bar on the second floor, and all the emptiness is filled.
What they want is actually that simple.
The closest building to the snack bar was a three-story white building. Lu Yao saw Du Chen and Du An lying by the fence on the second floor.
Du Chen spotted Lu Yao, cupped his hands into a trumpet shape, and shouted, "Shopkeeper, long time no see."
Lu Yao was a little surprised. The brothers had applied for a job at the snack bar before, but she felt they were not suitable and did not hire them.
Why are you all here
Bai Jian looked up and saw Du Chen, pursing his lips, "He is the owner of that small hotel. In order to eat at the snack bar more often, he applied for special admission and was not affected by the life in the zone change. However, he occasionally needs to work as a part-time NPC in the park."
Du Chen is very smart and persistent, and is comparable to Qing.
Bai Jian remembered that he and Qing had participated in the guard selection together. He had the same idea as Qing at that time, but unfortunately he was not selected.
I heard that later, he took his brother to apply for a job at a snack bar, but unfortunately they were not hired.
Later, he took the lead in opening a small hotel next to the snack bar.
Many people come to the snack bar to eat every day, and those who live far away will stay the night there.
The hotel business was good, and he achieved his goal of settling next to the snack bar.
Du Chen held onto the fence and jumped down from the second floor. He walked up to Lu Yao with a smile, "Shopkeeper."
"Long time no see." Lu Yao smiled. This guy is also very persistent.
Du Chen glanced at the snack bar sign, then turned to look at Lu Yao with a smile: "Is it possible for the snack bar to open for late-night dining?"
"Huh?" Lu Yao was puzzled.
Du Chen: "I just wonder if it's possible to enrich the nightlife of the residents of Dreamland?"
As undead, they actually don't need to eat or sleep.
But doing these things makes them feel almost the same as when they were alive.
With the snack bar during the day, life suddenly becomes richer and more lively, and the nights become longer and more boring.
Having a small barbecue or grilled fish in the evening can indeed greatly enrich the nightlife of the residents of Dreamland.
Lu Yao did not refuse directly: "I'll think about it."
Bai Jian turned around and pinched his fingertips. The owner actually agreed.
If the snack bar was open at night... I feel excited just imagining it.
After chatting with Du Chen and the captain of the guard for a few more words, Lu Yao turned around and went back to the store.
At this time, all the other employees had gone off work, leaving only the deputy manager Xingzi still in the store.
After listening to her report on the recent business situation, Lu Yao took out a notebook and wrote down some of the newly added ingredients and seasonings.
In a few days it will be Xiaoqie's turn to be the deputy store manager. Lu Yao asks Xingzi to tell him to wait for her in the store three nights later to carry out the soul binding.
Xingzi carried out a cardboard box from the kitchen. It was full of RMB, one hundred pieces in each bundle, and there were about thirteen bundles in total.
These were collected by the NPCs in the park in the game. They saved a little bit every day and finally accumulated a small box like this.
Lu Yao counted them and found that there were indeed 130,000.
She didn't plan to save it, but kept it in the store to pay for goods, and it would be used up soon.
After reporting everything, Xingzi also left work.
Lu Yao poured a glass of water and sat alone by the window.
Outside the window, the river water is cool, the flowers and trees have grown branches and leaves, the wind is warm, and summer seems to be coming soon.
System: [Luyao Snack Shop has successfully received 100,000 customers and upgraded to an eight-star shop, with a reward of 500,000 popularity points. Please keep working hard, shop owner!]
Lu Yao came back to his senses, "It's already reached eight stars? That's pretty fast."
She noticed that there was a new store owner status bar button in the system, and she clicked it, and a piece of information popped up.
Owner: Lu Yao
Age: 22
Stores: 2
Clerk: 15
Popularity: 736590
Assets: 1.35W (RMB)
Wish progress: 3%
(Shopping Street Map)
When did this come about
System: [The first eight-star store, with a store owner status bar and 4 warehouse grids.]
I see.
I've been spending too much popularity points recently, so the nail salon mission has been progressing slowly and I haven't made much money. Fortunately, the snack bar was upgraded to eight stars and added 500,000 points.
After spending the one million RMB earned from selling the first black ring and her savings, plus the money sent by the paradise, she was left with only one million, three hundred and fifty thousand RMB.
Neither her time nor the income from the nail salon was counted as her assets, so rounding it off meant she earned nothing…
Even more outrageous than these is the 3% wish progress. How outrageous is that wish
The two stores are only 3% complete...
This is too hopeless.
There is also a "Shopping Street Map" at the bottom of the status bar. Click it to see the stores in the entire shopping street.
Snack bars and nail salons are gold, and other shops are gray.
Lu Yao guessed that only the shops that were open would be lit up.
System: [Spend 100,000 popularity points to upgrade the snack bar into a four-story building. Does the owner choose to upgrade? ]
Lu Yao thought about it and said, "No."
The shop owner refused to upgrade the shop for the first time, and the system suddenly became speechless: […]
The three-story building is actually enough. Even if you plan to open a late-night restaurant and hire a group of shop assistants to rotate day and night shifts, the first and third floors can be used directly.
The store will definitely expand in size, but Lu Yao is not in a hurry for the time being.
The system paused for a while and told Lu Yao that the account had been liquidated again.
The warehouse has expanded from thirty-six slots to forty slots, but the capacity of each slot remains unchanged.
Lu Yao transferred the time of the explosion to his life span and sighed slightly: "… If this continues, I will live as long as the sky. Otherwise, should we lower the price of the food in the store?"
system:[…]
It has always been the merchants who want to raise prices, and I have never seen anyone actively want to lower prices.
Lu Yao thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate.
It would be better to price slightly lower when adding new items in the future, and then consider it when opening the night restaurant.
Lu Yao raised his head to drink the water, walked to the kitchen to wash the cup, and prepared to go home.

Late at night, someone discovered Lu Yao’s new post on the Paradise Forum.
This person took a deep breath and forwarded the post to the high-end player group: "The price has increased again. They are so willful."
Someone clicked on the link and quickly discovered that something was wrong.
“It’s not just a price increase, the way of doing business has also changed.”
"Am I reading this correctly? This means online trading?"
"On the forum? How do I transfer the money?"
"When I enter the mini program, there are text instructions. It seems that the transaction location is in the game?"
"I didn't believe it earlier. Is this guy really the park manager?"
"Will anyone really buy it for 5 million?"
“Ah, it’s been removed from the shelves!”
Someone snapped it away.
"… "
"… "
Zhuang Liang received a call in the middle of the night. He got up from bed and logged into the forum, only to see a message saying "the product is sold out".
"…" He scratched his hair, leaned against the window sill dejectedly, and replied to the person who had just called, "It's me."
The other party said a few words, and Zhuang Liang frowned, "I can't find her. The advice I can give you is don't mess with her, and don't try to be clever."
On the other end of the phone, Xia Zhiyi pinched his brows, his face full of irritation and he couldn't suppress it: "I have already taken the photo, but the transaction location is in the game. I would like to ask Mr. Zhuang to accompany me. You name the price."
Xia Zhiyi is the buyer who just bought the black ring for five million.
Zhuang Liang's eyebrows twitched, and he was somewhat moved.
He really wanted to confirm whether the seller was Lu Yao.
"You communicate with the seller. If the other party agrees, I have no problem."
Xia Zhiyi hung up the phone, logged back into the forum, and sent a message to the seller of the black ring.

Alexandria Continent, West District.
Deep in the huge Iron Needle Forest, the Grand Necromancer Ambrose was directing his undead followers to pack their luggage.
Since he decided to stay in the nail salon as an apprentice, he planned to move his family to Emerald Town.
The West District and the North District are too far apart, and it is not cost-effective to travel back and forth.
He couldn't let go of his half-finished magic research, so he simply bought a small building opposite the nail salon as his residence, and took all his belongings and four relatives with him.
The human race has a short lifespan. Even if the shop owner has some secret treasures, the maximum lifespan of the human race will not exceed five hundred years.
By the time he has glimpsed the mysteries of the magic of the abyss, the owner's life will probably be coming to an end, and then he will come back here.
For the undead with a long lifespan, he can afford a mere five hundred years.
The Archnecromancer was so wealthy that he filled ten trucks with his luggage, and still couldn't take half of it with him.
Suddenly, a black storm blew up in the forest. A moment later, a man with long black hair and green eyes appeared in a cloak, revealing two fangs at the corners of his lips. "Ambrose, you are making so much noise in the middle of the night."
Ambrose put on new robes, held a black staff inlaid with gems, and several will-o'-the-wisp flames were lit on his side.
The green-eyed man blinked and came closer to Ambrose, "What happened to your hand?"
