The snack bar serves set meals on the third floor. It usually opens to customers at 11:30 am and closes at 4 pm.
While there were no more customers, Lu Yao hid on the third floor to pinch the packaging of the blind box of instant noodles and hide the ingredients at the same time.
The last batch of goods had 200 servings of instant noodles, but only 10 were hidden.
This time she increased the probability a little bit. Among the 250 blind boxes of instant noodles, 25 were hidden.
Prepare the hidden ingredients first, then pinch the packaging box.
If there were machines, blind box packaging should be mass-produced.
But if you want to satisfy the heat preservation, freshness preservation and environmental protection functions of the illusion packaging, you can only pinch it by hand.
The blind box store has just opened and the demand for goods is still within a controllable range. Once the snack bar recruits new employees, she will no longer have to make the packages herself.
Xingzi came up from the first floor, followed by two people, "Owner, these two are here to apply for a job."
Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Lu Yao did not stop working. The table in front of him was filled with various instant noodles, small condiments, and half-opened packaging boxes. He said, "Sorry, I'm a bit busy. Please take a seat if you don't mind."
A young man and woman sat down opposite each other.
The girl introduced herself first: "My name is Ning Yun, the owner may not remember me. I used to suffer from amnesia, but after eating in the restaurant, the symptoms disappeared. I saw the advertisement for the snack bar recruiting people on the train today, and came here immediately."
The recruitment advertisement was originally posted outside the snack bar. In the morning, the train conductor Gao Yang came to the store to eat breakfast, and when he left, he asked Lu Yao for two advertising leaflets.
Lu Yao planned to wait until the Chinese New Year or the Mid-Autumn Festival to give some holiday gifts to the train conductor and the chief guard, who were like real fathers to the snack bar.
She looked up at Ning Yun, a faint smile on her lips: "I remember you, that couple, you said you wanted a flower when you left."
Ning Yun was a little surprised: "You actually still remember it."
Lu Yao nodded, but didn't plan to talk more about this topic: "This time we want to recruit packers, who use illusions to make some cute packaging boxes. The work content is rather boring and mechanical, so you should think carefully."
Illusion, everyone in the Dreamland knows it. Technically, it's not that difficult.
What Lu Yao is worried about is that the new employees have unstable personalities. This job is actually outsourced for the blind box store.
Ning Yun understood what Lu Yao was making, so she made a box in the same style as what she was making and handed it over. "Just by making this kind of packaging box, you can become an employee of the store? Can you eat in the store?"
As expected, it was another employee who came to the snack bar for the food. Lu Yao was not surprised.
However, Ning Yun's magic skills were pretty good. The box he casually made was 90% similar to the one Lu Yao made in size, shape, and color.
Lu Yao was satisfied. This young lady seemed to be able to get the hang of things quickly, so he said, "Well, except for the different work content, the rest of the treatment is the same as that of the employees in the snack bar. Three meals are provided, and wages are paid."
Ning Yun immediately expressed his willingness to join the company.
The man who came with Ning Yun was called Meng Qin, her boyfriend.
Meng Qin casually pinched out a packaging box, the style of which was a little more exquisite than the one made by Ning Yun, and almost exactly the same as the one made by Lu Yao.
Ning Yun revealed that Meng Qin could make luxury cars of various designs by himself, the kind that had all the necessary parts and could be driven on the road safely. He was very skilled in the use of illusion.
Lu Yao thought it was no wonder, this man might have been a big car enthusiast when he was alive. After thinking for a moment, he decided to keep them.
However, there is still a seven-day trial period, and after seven days, it will be a two-way choice.
Ning Yun and Meng Qin originally planned to go to the park to apply immediately after they got their jobs, and live permanently in Area A as snack bar employees.
At this moment, you can only wait until the probation period is over before applying to move.
The two of them got along very well and immediately started working on making the blind boxes.
Lu Yao observed for a while and found that Meng Qin was very skilled from the beginning and even corrected any small mistakes made by Ning Yun.
The two people were very dedicated in their work, and the overall work efficiency was immediately improved.
Lu Yao simply handed over the task of making the instant noodle blind box packaging to them, and turned to designing the packaging for the new blind box.
Considering that she had to start developing the crystal core blind box, she was worried that she would be too busy. The selection of products for the third blind box was relatively simple, but it was still a scarce product in the world of impermanence.
She designed the box, got up and went to the kitchen, and took out the fruits she bought in Alexandria from the warehouse.
Yu Cai was shocked: "Why buy so much fruit? Is the store going to have new fruit plates?"
Lu Yao sorted the fruits and poured them into the sink for washing. "These are commodities. I plan to make them into blind boxes and sell them in the new store. If you like them, you can keep some."
Yu Cai blinked, a little surprised: "They are also responsible for cleaning before packaging. Isn't that a bit too considerate? Customers will probably wash the products after they buy them, right?"
Lu Yao shook his head: "That world is a bit special. I heard that the water source is not very good. I think it is more convenient here, so I will wash first. Don't worry, when the fourth floor is renovated tomorrow, all the blind box packaging will be moved upstairs. Sorry to bother you today."
Yu Cai waved her hands repeatedly, "What a joke the shop owner is making, how can we say anything? However, we can indeed leave some fruit, can we also leave some instant noodles?"
Lu Yao looked up.
Yu Cai was a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly: "I haven't eaten it for a long time. I'm really craving for the taste. There must be guests in Dreamland who want to eat it."
Not far away, Ning Yun heard Yu Cai's words and raised his hand and said, "Shopkeeper, I want to eat too. Can I get an advance on my salary to buy instant noodles?"
Yu Cai joked: "They dare to take an advance on their salary before the probation period is over. New employees nowadays are so arrogant!"
Ning Yun walked over with a smile: "I feel a little overwhelmed when I think about being able to eat in the store every day in the future, without having to queue up, and being able to eat a variety of special meals provided by the store staff!"
Lu Yao laughed too. These young ladies were pretty, capable, and spoke sweetly. They were really interesting.
The blind box store has run out of stock, and the remaining instant noodles and fruits are placed in the snack bar.
At noon that day, the snack bar on the third floor sold fruit platters and instant noodles for a limited time. A long line formed at the window, with many customers waiting to order instant noodles.
After having lunch at the snack bar, Lu Yao prepared to go to stock up on 750 new blind boxes.
The phone rang and there was a new message from the Paradise Forum.
A buyer asked about the black ring. The other party was very straightforward and directly contacted her to arrange the delivery time, but made a very strange request - he wanted to bring a lady to the transaction site.
And this lady is not a player of the park game, and even the ring cannot be seen.
Lu Yao felt a little uncomfortable, and he really didn't have the extra energy to deal with this matter, so he said: "Sorry, maybe you should discuss this matter with the Demon Lord. If you need it, I can transfer you here."
Room 1886, 18th floor, Xicheng Hotel.
Qi Jue was sitting in front of the computer. Lin Yan, Xiao Zhou and Tang Qi were standing behind him, their faces froze almost at the same time.
Qi Jue knew Lu Yao a little, so he wasn't surprised.
He could even imagine how tired Lu Yao felt when he typed this sentence.
When the other three people met her for the first time, they just thought that she was so arrogant that she deserved to be beaten, and a little bit childish.
Lin Yan held Qi Jue's shoulders and asked in confusion: "Why tell her about this when you can just take me there for the transaction?"
Qi Jue has already revealed the conditions and functions of the illusion ring.
But just as he had expected, non-Paradise game players, people who had never actually entered the game, could never truly believe in the existence of the game, and their attitude seemed very indifferent, as if they were just playing house.
At this time, there is a new reply from the other side: "Hello, you are being transferred to the administrator..."
"Mr. Qi, Administrator 01 is here to serve you. We can trade with you here, and the specific process will be notified to you later. We have a small tip: if the lady next to you insists on going to the paradise, please prepare a suitable coffin for her in advance. I wish you a happy life!"
… The air was silent.
Tang Qi couldn't help but ask: "Is she pretending? Or has she really been transferred to the administrator?"
Qi Jue stood up and made a phone call. For the first time, he wanted to complain and tell Zhuang Liang, who understood his feelings, about this matter immediately: "… Good man, she really transferred the call, and the administrator came out directly! You know how I feel, right?"
Zhuang Liang: "...Brother, don't tell me about this special mission. I don't know anything..."
Qi Jue: “…”
-
Impermanence world, blind box shop.
Xi Tingran hurried back from the base, bringing an extra team this time, but saw Li Shuang and Xia Min standing outside the store, "Why did you come out?"
Li Shuang stood up, a little bewildered: "We met the owner, she said the store will be closed for a while while she restocks."
Xia Min handed over the dark chocolate in her hand: "Captain, she gave us this."
Xi Tingran picked it up and looked at it. It had been tightly held in Xia Min's hand, and it seemed to have softened inside. "Dark chocolate, something edible."
Xia Min put it back in her pocket, pursed her lips, and looked a little happy.
"What kind of person is the owner? Tell me, did she say when she will reopen?" Xi Tingran asked.
Xia Min immediately said: "She said that she would replenish the hot drink blind box and instant noodle blind box in the afternoon, and asked us some questions."
Xi Tingran listened and thought at the same time. A young woman suddenly appeared, spoke softly, and casually took out a high-end dark chocolate... Every detail was different from the image of the store owner he had expected.
At this time, another group of people came from the direction of Shenghong Building. Not far away, there was a faint flash of crystal core light and subtle footsteps.
Xi Tingran's team stared vigilantly at the approaching figure.
A team of four people gradually approached. The young man in the lead recognized Xi Tingran and whistled: "Hey, isn't this Xi Ershao? Why are there so many people?"
The young man's name is Jiang Han, he is only nineteen years old, and he is the son of the commander of Changming Base.
Like Xi Tingran, he usually led a team to collect supplies outside. The two teams often met and often clashed with each other over supplies.
When Xi Tingran saw him, he knew he was being followed.
This guy must have followed him.
The eternal night is prolonged, food is insufficient, and every base is difficult to endure.
In order to find something to eat, they will use any means.
Jiang Han has many ideas, but he usually only steals supplies.
Xi Tingran had been robbed, and he had also robbed the opponent's supplies. The grudges and entanglements between the two teams were simply difficult to sort out.
He was not surprised that Jiang Han came, but he regretted that this guy came too quickly.
"Lu Yao's blind box shop, who is Lu Yao? What is a blind box? What kind of strange shop is this?" Chen Feng from Jiang Han's team looked up at the shop sign, very confused.
Li Jing, who was on the same team, rubbed her eyes and said, "What kind of light is this? It's so bright that it blinds my eyes."
Li Jing's brother Li Cheng walked around the blind box store and came back to report: "The appearance of this small store is really strange. I remember that this place used to be a square, empty and with nothing."
Jiang Han folded his hands in front of his chest and turned his head to look at Xi Tingran: "Second Young Master Xi should know something. There are good things in this store, right?"
Xi Tingran smiled wryly: "The store door is right over there. If you are interested, you can break in and take a look."
Brother and sister Li Cheng and Li Jing arm wrestled, ready to break the door violently.
Jiang Han stopped the two of them: "Don't worry, wait."
After dealing with Xi Tingran for several years, I realized that this guy is definitely a veteran.
There must be good stuff in this store, but the fact that Xi Tingran's team did not act rashly means there is something fishy going on.
Jiang Han suppressed his anxiety, forced himself to calm down, stood at the door of the blind box shop, and argued with Xi Tingran.
Suddenly, there was a noise at the store door.
The door was pushed open from the inside, and a girl stood inside, holding a sign in her hand.
A flash of surprise flashed across Xi Tingran's face. This should be the owner, but he was much younger than he imagined.
After Lu Yao loaded the goods, he held the sign and prepared to open the store for business. He didn't expect there were so many people outside the store and the system didn't prompt him.
She was stunned for a moment, walked out and put up the sign, then turned around and said, "The store has just finished restocking, and a new set of blind boxes has been added. Customers can try their luck."
Xi Tingran's team was the first to walk into the blind box store.
The members of Jiang Han's team were stunned for a moment, then quickly followed in.
Although no one knew what to grab, the atmosphere was already tense.
Lu Yao was the last one in the group and walked in slowly. Then he saw the first team that entered. Someone pulled out two huge wicker bags from his clothes.
…Are you really purchasing goods here
