Lu Yao looked at Ji Feiming, and the other party was also observing her.
He took off the blindfold and stared at Lu Yao with his dark eyes.
An ordinary person, without any power, is surrounded by the black aura of death, and it seems that he may not even survive this night.
Ji Feiming was disappointed. She didn't have the qualifications and was not the one he was looking for.
It seems that I became the owner of this street by accident.
The location is remote and sparsely populated.
He lost most of his power due to the fall of the old gods and had never discovered this place.
Ji Feiming turned around and looked around. The street seemed dilapidated, but there was a frightening ominous atmosphere all around. He could not continue to ignore it.
He took two steps forward, took out a business card, and handed it to Lu Yao: "My name is Ji Feiming, and I want to buy this commercial street."
Lu Yao: “???”
Ji Feiming: "This street is a bit remote, but the scenery around it is very pleasant. I especially like the river view outside. You name a price."
Zhuang Liang was shocked.
No matter how hard he racked his brains, he never expected that this uncle would go through every possible means to investigate the park, find Lu Yao, and finally want to buy this street.
What's so special about this little street
Lu Yao refused without thinking: "Sorry, this street is not for sale."
Ji Feiming sighed and made a direct offer: "I am willing to pay fifty million for this street. To be honest, I know a little bit about face reading and fate. Miss Lu is surrounded by death, and she is not a person who will live long. It is better to take the money and enjoy the last moments of your life."
Zhuang Liang took a step back. This old man's words were so vicious, even more vicious than when he was trying to trick him.
Lu Yao felt that this person seemed to have some problems with his brain: "... Sorry, this street is really not for sale. If you are not feeling well, I suggest you go to the hospital as soon as possible."
Ji Feiming: "One hundred million... As long as you are willing to sell, the price is negotiable."
Zhuang Liang rubbed his eyes and ears, unable to believe what he heard.
Is it because he has seen too little of the world
What is this uncle trying to achieve by spending 100 million to buy this shabby little street
Or is there something wrong with this uncle's brain
He really doesn't look like a man with 100 million.
Lu Yao felt the same as Zhuang Liang. He took out his cell phone from his pocket and prepared to dial "110".
At this time, a delivery truck drove into the shopping street from the main road and stopped in front of the snack bar.
Bai Ming came out of the store, ready to receive the goods, looked up and saw Lu Yao, and greeted him happily: "Good morning, owner."
Lu Yao waved his hand: "Morning."
Ji Feiming stared at Bai Ming with horror in his eyes.
It was neither a living person nor a dead person, but a terrifying monster that was between life and death. However, it politely addressed the young man in front of it as the owner.
After the death of the god, most of the strange things in the world can no longer be observed.
How could a monster like that appear in the world freely? Who has such terrifying power
After the goods were unloaded and the delivery truck left, Bai Ming moved the goods back to the store. When closing the store, he asked the owner to come over and have some tofu pudding later.
Ji Feiming looked at Lu Yao again and found that he was indeed an ordinary person without power.
But it seemed that something was wrong. His strength had declined so much that even a young man like him could not see through him.
"Ms. Lu, it seems that I can't buy this street. As a compromise, can you take me in as a handyman here?"
Ji Feiming changed his attitude smoothly without any embarrassment.
Lu Yao couldn't figure out what this uncle's intention was, so he typed into the system: "Can you find a way to check this person?"
The system came up with the following after a while: [Tianji Ji Clan, a secret clan, rumored to be a clan that serves gods. Ji Feiming was born with the ability to see Yin and Yang. However, he no longer has much power.]
Lu Yao: "God's messenger? Is there a god in this world?"
System: [Every world has it, but ordinary people just don’t know about it. ]
Lu Yao recalled his reaction when he saw Bai Ming just now, and then his attitude changed significantly, "Can he tell that Bai Ming is not alive?"
System: [I think so. I don’t really understand this either.]
Lu Yao clenched her phone and thought calmly: Did this person discover the secret of the shopping street and come to find her
At first he was looking for Zhuang Liang, and what he noticed should be Paradise.
But then he proposed to buy the commercial street.
"You just said that he has no strength left. What do you mean?" Lu Yao asked.
The system paused for a moment, and said succinctly: [The God is dead.]
Lu Yao: "... In the future, please explain this kind of important information clearly all at once, okay?"
Lu Yao accepted all the weird things, from the dreamland to the magic world, and then to the world of impermanence.
Now that the system says that there are gods in this world, she doesn’t find it strange.
To be honest, the existence of the dream-fulfilling system is not scientific.
A messenger of God who has lost his power is no different from an ordinary person.
Lu Yao slowly calmed down and prepared to test it out, but he declined politely, "I'm afraid not."
Ji Feiming scratched his hair irritably.
She has no power, but the strong aura of death around her makes people worry about her. She can also control strange things, which makes it difficult for people to understand.
He had to stay here and continue observing.
"Shop owner, I've been busy with work and recently found out that my health is very poor and I need to rest. I think the scenery here is pleasant, quiet and stable, and life is convenient, which is especially suitable for recuperation. How about this, rent me a store, the rent is 100,000 a month, and I'll pay for one year first." Ji Feiming lied seriously.
Lu Yao: "... You have 100 million, where can't you rest? Mr. Ji, why don't you show some sincerity?"
Unlike Zhuang Liang, the owner looks young but is not easy to fool.
Ji Feiming took two steps closer and whispered a few words in Lu Yao's ear.
Lu Yao blinked and typed into the system: "Check the 955 special department."
After a moment, the system threw out a large pile of information about 955 and talked about the key points.
It turns out that the strange things in this world have always been secretly observed by someone.
Lu Yao thought for a while, then looked at Ji Feiming and said, "None of the shops on this street are for rent. If you are still willing to do odd jobs, you can consider hiring me."
This person saw through Bai Ming's true nature. He formerly worked in the 955 Special Department and was a former messenger of God. He had obviously noticed that something was wrong with the shopping street.
If you can't guard against it, it's better to keep people by your side.
Ji Feiming was delighted: "Sure, no problem."
Lu Yao always makes decisions quickly and never hesitates once he has made a decision.
She went to the snack bar to ask Bai Jian a few questions, then returned to the nail salon to draft an employment confidentiality agreement for Ji Feiming to sign.
For a special clerk from this world, ordinary contracts are not enough, and she will only feel at ease if she is bound by a contract.
However, because there is no star gate in this world, the magic contract of Alexandria Continent is not effective.
Lu Yao used the devil's finger bones to make a contract with Ji Feiming and put him on the employee list of the blind box store.
[Successfully recruited two store clerks, mission completed! Reward popularity value 20,000 points, blind box machine capacity 50, glass shelf capacity 30. ]
[You have a new task! Collect 500 positive feedbacks from customers about the blind box store within 7 days, and you will be rewarded with 100,000 popularity points, 1 blind box coin exchange machine, 1 blind box machine, and 1 blind box category. ]
Lu Yao wrote down the new task and looked up to see Zhuang Liang still there: "What are you going to do?"
Zhuang Liang's face turned pale, as he always felt that Lu Yao's eyes contained a murderous look.
But he was also a little curious about where this uncle came from. Didn’t he want to buy a commercial street at first? How did he suddenly become an employee of Lu Yao’s store
"I... um... it's okay. I'll go back now." He carefully suppressed his inappropriate curiosity and prepared to retreat.
Lu Yao stopped him and said, "It seems that you can't control your mouth. Since you are here, sign a confidentiality agreement before leaving."
Zhuang Liang tried to run, but Ji Feiming grabbed him and pulled him back, saying calmly, "Young man, you are really not careful with your mouth."
Zhuang Liang: “…”
Lu Yao believed in the effectiveness of the confidentiality agreement, so he asked Ji Feiming to fix his appearance and come to work tomorrow morning.
She would have to tell the other employees in the store about this.
Ji Feiming and Zhuang Liang left the shopping street and found that once they talked in depth about Lu Yao and the shopping street and touched on secrets and strange news, they could not open their mouths.
If I force myself to speak, my heart will feel a sharp pain and my breathing will become rapid, as if I am lacking oxygen.
Zhuang Liang felt terrible: "What on earth did she do to me?"
Ji Feiming: "You underestimated her."
Zhuang Liang: "...Uncle, you've caused me so much trouble."
Ji Feiming smiled helplessly: "Sorry, this is not my intention. Whatever you want, I will do my best to compensate you within my ability."
Zhuang Liang said unhappily, "What's the point of saying this now?"
Ji Feiming gave Zhuang Liang his personal contact information.
However, he will stay in Yaoguang City until he finds out Lu Yao's true identity.
-
The world of impermanence.
Lu Yao tore off the recruitment notice from the door, and Wei Xuan and Nie Yu hurried over to ask if they were still hiring.
Taking Luo Huian's physical condition into consideration, Lu Yao agreed to give the two a seven-day trial period with the same conditions as Luo Huian.
After a brief training, Luo Huian, Wei Xuan and Nie Yu put on aprons with the blind box store logo, and scattered around the store, cleaning the store, organizing shelves, and waiting for customers.
This is their first time to engage in such formal work, so they can't help but feel a little excited.
It's just that there was a snowstorm last night and the road was blocked.
It was almost noon when someone came to the store.
Xu Ru lives in the Guangming Base in the neighboring district. This cold wave is colder than ever before. The people sent out by the base failed to find any supplies. Even with the crystal cores in their hands, they cannot exchange them for food and cold-resistant items. The family has been out of food for two days.
Yesterday, the base's search team planned to go to other areas to look for supplies and would pass by Hope Base on the way.
Xu Ru had an acquaintance who escaped with her and lived in the Hope Base. She had no other choice but to go to the house and ask for some life-saving food.
She spent the crystal core and went out with the search team to the Hope Base.
Before entering the base, she actually had no hope.
The days of uncertainty are hard to endure, and it is the same in every base. Food and supplies are scarce, and enduring one more day is just one more day of suffering in this world.
But she had a child, and the family lived frugally to raise him until he was seven years old, and his supernatural powers awakened.
She wouldn't want to live if she died in this cold wave.
Xu Ru nervously found the residence of an acquaintance and took out a handful of crystal cores, hoping to exchange them for some food.
The acquaintance took away a few crystal cores and gave her a blind box.
Xu Ru weighed it and found it was quite heavy. She tore it open carefully and found it was a bag of potatoes.
Each one is round and clean, not a mutant potato.
She was startled and asked in a low voice: "Where did you get this thing?"
An acquaintance revealed the existence of the blind box store.
Xu Ru hid the life-saving potatoes in her clothes and stumbled back to the Guangming Base. The family shared two and put the rest away to eat slowly.
At night, Xu Ru couldn't fall asleep because she was thinking about the blind box store that her acquaintance had mentioned.
When it was just getting light, she got up, woke up her family, and made an appointment with two neighbors with whom she was on good terms, planning to go to the blind box shop in the neighboring area together.
When they went out, the blizzard had not stopped yet, and the journey was very difficult.
After going through a lot of hardships, we arrived at the Hope Base and walked on the thick snow towards the blind box shop.
They met many people from the nearby base on the way, and someone even sped past them on a snowmobile, which shocked the group.
In the team, someone suddenly exclaimed and pointed excitedly at a silvery white square in front of them: "Lu Yao's blind box store, I think I saw it!"
